Here\u2019s a simple trick you can use to decide how to use collective nouns in sentences.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Singular and plural:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It can be tricky to know whether a collective noun should be treated as singular or plural. Generally, collective nouns are treated as singular, but there might be instances where we want to refer to them as plural. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p>The team\u00a0<strong>was<\/strong>\u00a0in high spirits after winning the game.<\/p>\n<p>The crew\u00a0<strong>were<\/strong>\u00a0all working at their stations.<\/p>\n<p>In this second example, the \u2018crew\u2019 is treated as plural. This is because, despite being a group of people, we can assume that it\u2019s made up of individuals with their own individual jobs to do. In this case, it is acceptable to refer to the collective noun as plural.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid using the incorrect collective nouns:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using an inappropriate collective noun is an easy trap to fall into, but it can affect how our writing looks to the reader. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<strong>flock<\/strong>\u00a0of wolves.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<strong>punnet<\/strong>\u00a0of screwdrivers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Experiment with collective nouns:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the same time, don\u2019t be afraid to experiment and try collective nouns in places they might not normally go. Sometimes, an unexpected use of a collective noun can add unique meaning to a sentence.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the correct collective noun for piranhas is a shoal. However, saying \u2018a\u00a0<strong>swarm<\/strong>\u00a0of deadly piranhas\u2019 still makes sense and can have a powerful impact in your writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a
