Plural means "more than one". A noun is a person, place or things. So a plural noun is more than one person, place or thing. Plural nouns usually end in the letter s.
Some examples are:
All the CLOCKS in the room chimed at once.
Many CITIES in different STATES can have the same name.
I watched the GEESE fly in a v-shaped pattern.
Note: although the plural noun in the last example does not end in s, it is the plural form of the word goose.
"Dogs" is a plural noun since there's more than one. "Bushes" would be one too.
Oh...and be careful, as not all plural nouns end in "s". Some, like "sheep" has the same plural form as its singular form. Other "weird" ones: knife-knives, ox-oxen...

A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea.
A plural is when you have more than one of it.
So....take any noun: "DOG".
I saw two dogs taking a crap in the bushes.

Liberty H. has it incorrect. It's not "dog's", etc. Those are possessive *singular* nouns. It's dogs, cats, etc.
