Not exactly, I'm afraid, in two aspects:
A. The rules are "more like guidelines", in other words, they're rather a 
matter of statistic likeliness, and
B. the rule is actually that only determinate nouns (those with the article and 
proper names) get the "es", not undeterminate. (Hebrew doesn't have 
intermediate ones like in English "life" etc.)
