Nouns and verbs in sentences must always show agreement.

What does this mean?

Let me show you.

The subject and verb in the following sentence agree.

They were happy.

The subject and verb in the following sentence do not agree.

They was happy.

Page 6: Collective Nouns. A collective noun name a group made up of a number of people or things. Family Crowd Class Team.

They were happy.

We call this a plural subject.

Page 7: Collective Nouns. A collective noun name a group made up of a number of people or things. Family Crowd Class Team.

They were happy.

We call this verb a plural verb because it goes with the plural subject.

Just think of it this way.

If the subject is singular, you need the verb that goes with it.

If the subject is plural, you need the verb that goes with they.

Here’s the problem

Every collective noun can have both a singular and plural meaning.

This means you have to think about how it is being used in a sentence in order to know if the noun is singular or plural.
