In English, most of the words have an ‘s’ at the end to put them into a plural form; but there are other forms:
Noun Plural

Phone Phones
Bird Birds

Car Cars

The nouns that end with a '-ch', '-s', '-sh', '-x' y '-z'  form their plural with an ‘-es’ instead of an ‘s’. This is because there’s no way
to pronounce if it only had an ‘-s’.
Noun Plural

Bench benches
Kiss Kisses

wish wishes
Box Boxes

quiz Quizzes

If a noun ends with a consonant followed by the letter ‘-y’, its pulral is -'ies’.

lady ladies
baby Babies

Some nouns end with the letter ‘-o’ change into its plural ‘-es’.

Noun Plural
Buffalo Buffaloes

Potato potatoes

Echo Echoes
