minisufka Re: Singular but plural 26.02.09, 13:30 'people' is not exactly 'singular' - it's just an exeption to the 's' rule. anyway, i know what you mean - some more examples could be: fish, sheep, deer, where singular form is the same as plural. now if you tlk about groups of people, you could use collective nouns, like: audience, team and family with both singular AND plural verbs (e.g. my family is big BUT my family are tall, our team constists of 11 players BUT our team were brilliant today) Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
