Could someone help me learn how to form plurals in this particular case?

When a noun ends in -ou, I've read that it can be followed by both -s and -x, (des bisous, des bijoux) so, how can you know if it should be -s or -x ?

Bonjour Tibor,

That's a very interesting question. Most nouns will take an -s in the plural form. However there are exceptions are you've mentioned. 

Take a look at these 2 links:

Most nouns take an -s in the plural unless they already end in -s, -x, -z (the second video in particular - 7 exceptions)

French Plural 

I hope this is useful.

Bonne journée !
