Why do you just add an' s' to monkey to get the plural but have to change the 'y' to' i' and add 'es' the cherry or lady?

This is because of the letters that precede 'Y'. When the 'Y' follows a consonant, the 'Y' must be replaced with 'I' and "ES" is added. When the 'Y' follows a vowel, only an 'S' is needed.
