Jennifer's exaplains help me learn more about collective nouns. I would loved to say that " Jennifer helps any person who's watch this video will understand more about collective noun".

Hi Jennifer! Thank you! Examples: 1) The government is soon releasing its austerity package in order to cut expenses. 2) The family is the basic unit of society. 3) Owing to the recession, the company is downsizing.

[@sergeipetrov5572]

Hello Jennifer! Nice to see you! Thank you so much for the video! I like learning by using the classification and tables. My examples: Everyone sometimes dreams. Their company yields a good income. A new tribe is found by researchers. Your advice works very well!

[@JForrestEnglish]

You got it! Great examples :)

[@yakubufuseini7720]

I think "Their company yields a good income" can take both singular and plural verb.

My family is great I love them my family establishes a group with our friends for traveling,,, everyone works his mission regularly ... so this trip is fantastic.so the group decides to travel next year.

[@JForrestEnglish]

Great job conjugating those collective nouns!

[@hannancheikh4901]

It's really amazing lesson for me at least because I didn't know that you use the collective nouns in English like we do in Arabic, I was guess that we only use this deep grammar when we treat a group word - for example - as one unit or as one entity and the meaning will mention always to plural, we call it in Arabic ( اسم جنس جمعي مثل كلمة التفاح ) . And also new words, new sentences, thank you so much Madam

[@markjoeymontealto7157]

I'm kinda confused now because I watched a video from EngVid about collective nouns, and the teacher explains that it could be both singular or plural. Basically in the US they treat collective nouns as singular; whereas, in the UK they treat it as plural. By in large, the teacher states that it depends on you if you are accentuating the whole entity or individual.

[@JForrestEnglish]

I'm sorry you're confused. I teach American English. In British English (which I don't speak or teach) I know they have differences with collective nows. If you live and speak British English, I recommend following those rules for collective nouns. But in North America it would sound weird to us to hear "The team are...", which might be normal in British English. Hopefully that doesn't confuse you further! Best of luck!

[@antonioabruzzio]

Hi! Is guerrilla a collective noun?

[@JForrestEnglish]

No, it's not. It can be used as an adjective and a noun. As a noun, it would take a plural form :)

What about the verb form for the word 'somebody'?

[@JForrestEnglish]

Singular ;)

[@this.user.is_taolovee.]

@@JForrestEnglish whoa! Thank you so much.

[@mercedesfigueroa9124]

Is it the same with "people" right?

[@JForrestEnglish]

"People" is the plural form of "Person". So 1 person, but 2+ people. Because people is plural, it's conjugated as "they". The people ARE going to the party :)

[@mercedesfigueroa9124]

@@JForrestEnglish oh you're right!

[@englishlessonswithsilviopa4139]

Both “My family is” and “My family are” are correct in British English, while “My family is” is most common in American English. This is because “family” is a collective noun, and American English generally treats collective nouns as singular, while British English treats them as plural.
