Collective Nouns

Dear children,

We went back to collective nouns again, but this time we looked into the use of singular or plural verbs.

The group of pupils is dancing to the music.
A bunch of bananas is hanging on the tree. 

When there is only 1 group, we use the singular verb 'is'.

The two groups of pupils are dancing to the music.
Three bunches of bananas are hanging on the tree.

Where there are 2 groups or more, we use the plural verb 'are'.

We will come back to this again tomorrow. See you!

Sincerely,
Mrs Soh
