Collectives

Objective

To explore collective nouns.

Nouns usually refer to one thing, person or animal. If we want to indicate that there are more than one, we use the plural form: books, pupils, horses. But some nouns mean already more than one and therefore they have no plural form. Can you guess the nouns from the description?
