Collective Nouns Some things in English have special collective nouns when groups of them are being referred to (e.g. a flock of birds, a herd of cows, a school of porpoises). But others don't (e.g. professors, undergraduates). One quite fun game is to try to make up collective names for groups which don't have them. How about: An absence of professors A hangover (overhang?) of students Can you think of any more fun collective nouns? If so,
post them up in the , and we'll add them to the above list if they are especially
good. Close this window before continuing your session. |
