 Collective nouns name

groups of persons or
objects of the same kind,
considered as a single unit.

 A collective noun is usually singular, but when the reference is to

the individual members of the group rather than the group as a
whole it is used as a plural noun.

E.g.: The committee have disagreement

on certain points.
The committee has taken a
decision.

 A few collective nouns such as cattle, vermin,

poultry and gentry are always treated as plurals.

Write sentences using five

collective nouns that you
like.
