collective nouns





Today I decided to check the use of collective nouns in English. I had forgotten how weird some words are.

(a collective noun is a noun that can be singular in form whilst referring to a group of people, things or animals )

  2. Yes! And an intrusion of cockroaches also sounds perfect!
