In English grammar, a Collective Noun is a special word used to describe a group or collection of people, animals, or things. Let's find out what a group of Soldiers is called.
Collective nouns are usually treated as singular nouns in a sentence. Therefore, they take a singular verb. (Example: 'The army is marching', not 'The army are marching').
