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 )

  1. I think a 'parliament' is the perfect word for them :) I also think it's very fitting that a group of crows is called a 'murder'!

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