Collective nouns like family, team, or government are used for groups of people, but they use singular verbs.
About me: I teach English to adult immigrants, refugees, and international students in the United States. I love using a flipped classroom model when possible, and that's how I got started making videos. I like to keep them short and specific so that students and teachers can get just the information they're looking for in a succinct format. Thanks for watching!
