*The plural of a noun ending with ת but not with ות or ית is sometimes formed by replacing ת with ות, but this case has many exceptions.
*The plural of some nouns (especially masculine) ending with ה is formed by replacing ה with ים.
*The plural of the rest nouns (mainly masculine) not ending with ה is formed by adding ים at the end of the word.
Because the rule above has many exceptions, it is possible to identify whether the plural of a given noun ends with ות or with ים only by consulting a dictionary.
