Which word in a sentence is collective noun?

You can't tell which word in a sentence is a collective noun just by looking at it. You need to understand the meaning of the word in the context of the sentence.

Here's why:

* Collective nouns represent a group of individuals: Examples include "team", "flock", "army", "choir", etc.

* The same word can be singular or collective depending on the context: For example, "class" can refer to a group of students (collective) or to a specific class period (singular).

Example:

* "The team is practicing for the game." (Team is a collective noun, referring to the group of players)

* "The class is noisy today." (Class is a collective noun, referring to the group of students)

* "The class is over." (Class is singular, referring to a specific period of instruction)

To identify a collective noun in a sentence, look for:

* A word that represents a group of people, animals, or things.

* A word that is treated as a singular noun, even though it refers to multiple individuals.

* The use of a singular verb with the collective noun.
