I need your help!

I’m listening

my family

my family are in danger.

They need your help.

Please help us!

Look,

if you had asked me correctly,

it would have been done by now

but since you can’t even make a correct sentence,

I can’t help you.

It’s

my family IS in danger.

You are a disgrace to your family!

why are you giving the death signal?

They’re both correct!

No

this is not the signal for death,

I do that when I need water.

If you don’t wanna end up dead like him,

Like the video.

Collective nouns are words that

describe groups of people or things.

For example:

team

family

Committee

Company

Group

Class

Jury

Tribe

Enemy

Army

and couple

Grammatically they are singular,

but as they describe more than one individual,

they may also take the plural form of a verb

or use a plural pronoun.

For example, do we say

“The family is arriving tomorrow”

or

“The family are arriving tomorrow”?

Is a family “it” or “they”?

The answer depends on

whether you’re using British or American English.

Very generally,

in British English

collective nouns are commonly treated as plurals,

For example:

The government are debating the tax proposal.

While in American English

they take the singular verb form.

For example:

The government is debating the tax proposal.

So they are both correct.

Poor guy, huh?

All right

see you next time.
