In this lesson, we will discuss collective nouns and if they are singular or plural. How do we make sure the subject and verb agree when using collective nouns in English? What are collective nouns? Are there any exceptions? • Subject-verb agreement means that the subject and verb must agree in number. There are many different rules to follow, so this series aims to explore the rules in detail. • In part one of my Subject-Verb Agreement series, we learned that singular subjects need singular verbs and plural subjects need plural verbs. In this lesson, we'll explore collective nouns. A collective noun is a term used to represent a group or collection of people, animals, or things. • Example: team, flock, group, family • We'll discuss how we use singular and plural verbs with collective nouns and the differences between British and American English. You'll also learn about quantifying expressions with collective nouns and the rules of subject-verb agreement with these expressions. • Example: a BATCH of cookies / a STACK of books / a TEAM of engineers • At the end of this lesson, there will be a subject-verb agreement quiz on collective nouns and quantifying expressions to test your knowledge! • ➡ Part 1: The Basics of Subject Verb Agreement: • Subject Verb Agreement for Beginners ... • ➡ Part 2: Collective Nouns: • Subject Verb Agreement in English Gra... • ➡ Part 3: Countable vs. Uncountable Nouns: • Subject Verb Agreement in English Gra... • ➡ Part 4: Compound Subjects with And/Nor/Or: • Subject Verb Agreement | Part 4: Comp... • ➡ Part 5: Inverted Sentences with Here There: • Subject Verb Agreement | Part 5: Here... • Chapters: • 00:00 - Intro • 01:07 - What are Collective Nouns? • 02:30 - Singular VS Plural Collective Nouns • 04:40 - Subject-Verb Agreement with Collective Nouns • 06:24 - Collective Nouns with Single VS Plural Verbs • 08:17 - British English VS American English • 09:24 - Quantifying Expressions • 12:38 - Common Collective Nouns • 13:49 - Subject-Verb Agreement Quiz • 15:10 - Answers • 📚 My English eBooks: • • 16 Basic Punctuation Rules eBook: https://sparkleenglish.podia.com/basi... • 👩🏼🏫 LEARN MORE: • • Common English Errors: • Common English Grammar Errors • • Punctuation Lessons: • English Writing Essentials • • Grammar Lessons: • English Grammar Essentials • ✨ SOCIAL MEDIA: • Facebook: / sparkleenglish • Instagram: / sparkleenglishesl • TikTok: / sparkle.english • #subjectverbagreement #englishgrammar #sparkleenglish
