Collective nouns are words used to describe a group or collection of individuals or things. They are singular in form but represent multiple entities as a single unit. These nouns help us convey the idea of a group in a concise manner. Common examples of collective nouns include words like “team,” “herd,” “swarm”, “crowd,” “pack,” “school,” and “colony.” Collective nouns are particularly useful in simplifying language and expressing relationships among members of a group, whether it’s animals, people, or objects.
