The definition of collective is "of or pertaining to a group of persons viewed as a whole." A collective noun is a noun that has a formal singular appearance but refers to a collection of individuals or things. Collective nouns include terms like army, flock, and bunch. All of these nouns are single, but they all allude to a collection of individuals or things. Collective nouns often utilise single verbs. This is so because collective nouns designate a collection of several individuals or objects as a single unit or entity.
