I've been reading on Russian plurals, but I don't understand. What are the differences and how do I form a plural?

In Russian, in the nominative case, you make a plural by using the letters "и", "ы", "я" or "а".
For masculine nouns:
If the word ends in a consonant, add “ы”.
Replace “й” with “и”
Replace “ь” with “и”
студент (student) - студентЫ (students)
конЬ (horse) - конИ (horses)
For feminine nouns:
Replace “я” with “и”
Replace “ь” with “и”
Replace “а” with “ы” (unless previous consonant is Г, К, Х, Ж, Ч, Ш, Щ then replace with "и" as per the spelling rules.)
лошадЬ (horse) - лошадИ (horses)
газетА (newspaper) - газетЫ (newspapers)
For neuter nouns:
Replace “о” with “а”
Replace “е” with “я” (don't forget the spelling rules)
зданиЕ (building) - зданиЯ (buildings)
