Together as one: collective nouns | MightyOwl Language Arts | 2nd Grade

For the full MightyOwl learning experience, check out the worksheets and quizzes on our website:

Have you ever joined a club or team? Or maybe you are in a band or sing in choir? Then you are part of a #collective noun! Join us in this lesson as we explain the difference between collective and #plural #nouns. Collective nouns are groups of nouns, like a family, a neighborhood, or a bouquet of flowers. Although there are many people or things together, we talk about them as one group and so, we use singular nouns. Gotta go, I have chess club and orchestra practice before my family dinner!
