How to Use Collective Nouns?
Hope your doing good)
One of the tasks asks my brother to write sentences using collective nouns like a flock of birds or a school of fish, but we’re struggling to come up with good examples.
Could you help clarify how to use them correctly or share a few examples to get us started?

Hi there, randa.meselmani.
Collective nouns are words used to refer to a group of people or things. A collective noun is treated as a singular noun in a sentence.
Here are some examples:
1. A FLOCK: a group of birds
>>> A flock of birds flies towards me as I drop some seeds before me.
2. A SCHOOL: a group of fish
>>> I can see a group of fish swimming under my boat.
3. A PRIDE: a group of lions
>>> A pride is led by only one male lion.
4. A FAMILY: A group of people related to each other
>>> My family is planning to go to Paris this spring.
5. A CLASS: a group of students
>>> Mr. Lee's class is on a trip to the chocolate factory in the next town.
