Tips for Teaching Collective Nouns and Subject Verb Agreement

Grammar concepts can be tricky, even for those of us who have been teaching them for years!

Here are three top tips to remember when teaching collective nouns and subject-verb agreement to your class:

1. Collective nouns can be singular or plural, but they are usually treated as singular when referring to the group as a whole.
2. The verb must match the meaning, so it’s important to identify whether the collective noun is acting as a unit (singular verb) or individual members (plural verb).
3. There are exceptions to every rule, so be sure to warn students to watch out for tricky cases that may influence which verb to use.
