Let's  take a good look at the images below showing a collection of  people, animals and things .

 

Words   like    team,  army,  gang, gaggle, set, crowd etc  are names of a collection of persons  or things taken together  and spoken  as ONE WHOLE!  


NOTE!!       Collective nouns  may appear to be common nouns  but they are slightly different from the ordinary common nouns. They stand  for /represent a collection.
