Exam Favorite: Topic (Collective Nouns)

Acquiring proficiency in collective nouns is relatively straightforward,
with 4 to 5 questions consistently featuring in competitive exams.

 Examiners usually ask questions related to collective nouns which we are 
not supposed to use in our daily life. 

For example: 

Group of Animals and Birds:

  • Living Being: Crow
  • Collective Noun: A murder of crows
  • We don't use this in our daily life.
  • Generally, it is asked in competitive exam.

  • Living Being: Geese
  • Collective Noun: A gaggle of geese


In the above picture, the word 'skein' is used for geese in flight, in other words,
 we can say when geese migrate form a V shape line, so a group of geese in the sky is
called a skein. But when a group of geese is on the ground, is known as gaggle.


Groups of People and Occupations:

Tip for the Aspirants:

Collective nouns usually take a singular verb when the group acts as one unit.
Let's clarify it by using the following example:
  • The team are divided in their verdict.
Here the word 'team' is treated as plural noun for the verb(are) and plural pronoun
(their) to show team members as individuals.
  • The team has given the verdict.
Here the word ' team' is treated as a whole unit, that is why, it takes a singular verb(has).
