It's really amazing lesson for me at least because I didn't know that you use the collective nouns in English like we do in Arabic, I was guess that we only use this deep grammar when we treat a group word - for example - as one unit or as one entity and the meaning will mention always to plural, we call it in Arabic ( اسم جنس جمعي مثل كلمة التفاح ) . And also new words, new sentences, thank you so much Madam

People is the plural form of "person". So no, it's not collective. It's an irregular plural noun. You can learn more here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BLaf9_jHQyQ.html

I'm kinda confused now because I watched a video from EngVid about collective nouns, and the teacher explains that it could be both singular or plural. Basically in the US they treat collective nouns as singular; whereas, in the UK they treat it as plural. By in large, the teacher states that it depends on you if you are accentuating the whole entity or individual.
@JForrestEnglish
@JForrestEnglish 4 месяца назад
I'm sorry you're confused. I teach American English. In British English (which I don't speak or teach) I know they have differences with collective nows. If you live and speak British English, I recommend following those rules for collective nouns. But in North America it would sound weird to us to hear "The team are...", which might be normal in British English. Hopefully that doesn't confuse you further! Best of luck!

Both “My family is” and “My family are” are correct in British English, while “My family is” is most common in American English. This is because “family” is a collective noun, and American English generally treats collective nouns as singular, while British English treats them as plural.

Hi Jennifer! I’m sorry but I’m a little bit confused... If I say "the staff is not happy.", which pronoun should I use in the next sentence to replace "staff"? If I follow my gut feeling, I would change the subject-verb agreement and say "they are not happy"... Could you help me out? All the best!
@JForrestEnglish
@JForrestEnglish 4 года назад
Staff is a collective noun. Ex/ The staff is working hard. Interestingly, we would use "they" when the subject is obvious. Ex/ The staff is working hard. They have a deadline next week. Because we wouldn't use "he/she/it" to replace "staff". We would be "they". It's kinda a weird area of English, isn't it!
