Normally, I used to tell these collective nouns in singular, because I thought it's incorrect to tell them in plural, but actually after this lesson it is clearer for me, that this group consists of many people and in this way it's possible to tell it in plural, thank you of such a topic of lesson, because I was confused about that since I've heard my teacher telling it in plural in the English lesson at school :)

Adam, you're amazing. Yes, rules are there, but the time you apply them, you could go wrong, especially because rules may change depending on the country, region, etc. My 29 years of teaching (English) tells me that books are not enough to understand everything. Maybe OK, generally, but not enough to teach advanced classes, for example. There are different types of writing styles. For example, editors may refer to the Chicago Manual of Style for recommendations on editorial style and publishing practices. It's something huge. Thank you, Adam!

Police, people etc. are some of the collectives those are exceptions. We know collective nouns may be used as singular or plural in sentences depending on the context. But these collective nouns 'Police', 'People' etc. are always used as plural in sentences. More examples of such collectives are: luggage, furniture, clothing, crockery, brick, poetry, machinery, folk, cattle, poultry, vermin, clergy, peasantry, gentry, nobility, majority etc.

+Laurette Illy Sorry, but this is actually wrong...
@IrenicElegance8 жыл бұрын
Sorry... but there is a rule. There are three sections of nouns within this grammar: countable, uncountable and collective. You are mixing these. The word "police" is uncountable; the only way to make it countable is to add a countable word like "officer" in the same way that you say "a cup of water" or "slice of bread." Family is collective because it includes more than one member within the family. It is possible to have a plural collective noun (our families = your family (all the members) and my family (all the members). It is NOT possible to have an uncountable plural noun (XpolicesX) unless you add a countable word (police OFFICERS).

Thank's for the lesson!!! very helpful!!! Anyway I have a little confusion about some collective nouns like "people", "everybody", "nobody" ... In my language (spanish) we always conjugate collective nouns with singular verbs but in english it's strange because some words like "people" are generally conjugated with plurals but words like "everybody" are with singulars... Is it posible, for example, to use the word "people" with a verb in singular or the word "everybody" with a verb in plural??? thanks for the help!!!
@xxxROCKADIKTOxxx10 жыл бұрын
sorry it's thanks not thank's :)
@legaleagle468 жыл бұрын
+xxxROCKADIKTOxxx No. "People" is usually considered plural in English (the singular is "person"), so it takes a plural verb, unlike "la gente" in Spanish. And "everybody" is considered singular because it literally means "every body," that is, "each individual body." The problem arises when "everybody" is used as the antecedent for a personal pronoun, because "everybody" has no specific gender, and many people feel that the default masculine singular pronoun "he" is sexist. That's why there's been a growing trend to break the general rule and use "they" as if if were a singular pronoun when the antecedent is "everybody" in order to avoid the gender problem
