Most words whose singular ends in "s" form their plural by adding "es".

Examples: stress, stresses; fuss, fusses.

Some (but not all) words that end with a vowel other than "e" form their plural by adding "es".

Examples: tomato, tomatoes; hero, heroes.

Words that end with a "y" preceded by a consonant change the "y" to an "i" and add "es".

Examples: pony, ponies; pinny, pinnies; tally, tallies.

For all words which DO NOT start with a vowel u remove the first letter and add it to the end of the word, then you add the letter "a" at the end of the word (IE: farmer would be pronounced armerfa). For all words that begin with a vowel, you simply add the letter "a" to the end of the word (IE: apple would be pronounced applea). Have fun.
