Thank you so much and I know this but "s" is put at the end and then the theory about dark l sound does not fit, does it? Or whether there is "s" or "es" for the plural forms, should we first pronounce dark l in apples, shells, wills, etc and then pronounce s" and "es"?

Yes, but it's all one syllable at the end, like a-pulz (apples). Go to an online dict
