Collective Nouns in English: How to talk about groups of people and things

[@BigdaddyDalaodie]

The funniest and nerdiest English teacher I met so far, I definitely love it.

[@engvidAlex]

This is a nice compliment. 😅 Thank you.

[@htunhtetlinn5327]

a group of caterpillars are called " an army of caterpillars" and a group of soldiers are called "platoon of soldiers". English makes so much sense.

[@8378828]

I appreciate your loved dedication to teach, school as well, may be used as a group of people, particularly writers, artists, or philosophers, sharing the same or similar ideas, methods, or style.

Thank u Alex.. I start a English class for 3 months now, 4 days a week and 3 hours a day but I also need a private tutor to push me hard. I want to be a polyglot but I am only interested on 5 languages: English, spanish, mandarin, Arabic, Germany.. for now I am focusing on only English. So if you have any advice or trick for me to use to improve my English don't hesitate. Thank u

Really funny lesson 😂 but : Will be able to remember all these words? 🤔

[@Konk_217]

Hi there! How are you? I hope you are doing great !! I'd like to tell you that I have a doubt with a TOEFL excercise (hope you can help me or any member of the community please) It says: "A pride of lions __ up to 40 lions, including one to three males, several females, and cubs." In the espace I need to choose one of the following answers: a) can contain b) it contains c) contain d) containing. I believe the correct answer is CAN CONTAIN, but a started to hesitate and I think it could be CONTAIN. I undestand I can understand PRIDE as a whole, as a unit. And because of that definitely it would be correct CONTAINS but that word is not in the answers section. So that's why I believe CAN CONTAIN is the best option. Thank you very much . Greetings from Mexico !!!

[@engvidAlex]

I’d go with “can contain” as well. The only other answer that makes grammatical sense is “contains,” but that would mean a pride of lions must have exactly 40 lions, which isn’t the case.

[@Konk_217]

Learn English with Alex [engVid] Thank you very very much. I really appreciate your time to answer me. I completely agree with you. Take care my master!!

[@alexandreoliveira5685]

[@LucasCastro-je7zp]

i loved this lesson. :D Thanks, Alex.

[@engvidAlex]

You're very welcome! Thanks for checking it out. :)

[@inasosman3020]

Which phrase is correct - the class was or the class were? Is the word class a singular noun or a plural noun? This question cannot be answered with Yes or No. Use the singular if you see the class as a group of students. Use the plural if you see the class as single students.In British English the plural is used more often than in American English. in British English, they refer to groups such as family, staff, etc. In the plural form using 'are'. In American English they refer groups in the singular form using 'is'. Both are acceptable, so use the one that is most comfortable for you. I am learning British English, and get very confused by this! I hope that you can answer me! ☺️

[@LearnUkrainianWithRoman]

really nice class!

[@engvidAlex]

Thanks a lot!

[@AlanGTRS]

I didn't know there were tons of expression to say "a group of", it's always interesting to learn new things :) I have a question though, we really can't say "informationS", "some informations" ?
