    Thieves was stealing TVs last night
    A pack of wolves was hunting a dog
    Both of these sentences are plural collective nouns but the action is one entity, so the auxiliary verb would be singular? I can't wrap my head around it, it feels against everything I've been taught haha!
    Or are these rules only for present simple auxiliary verbs?

    Hi, tnx alot for your awesome video. I have a question. I HAVE WATCHED a VIDEO ABOUT collective nouns and the teacher gave the example that "the police fines a driver who exceed the speed limits. On the other hand, you mentined that "police is always plural noun".
    So, I got a little bit confused. Could you please explain on it.
    Thank you😊

      Actually both are okay, depending on British or American English. It or they is fine!

      We use supposed to for expectations. If you're a student, you're supposed to do your homework! (Your teacher expects you to!).
      At the school where I work, I'm supposed to arrive around 9am. (My boss expects me to! ;)

      @TeachersMarkandMatt  Před 2 lety

      Everyone is conjugated as singular ;)
      Everybody is also singular ;)
      “Everyone is here!”
      “Everybody loves pizza!” 🍕
      “Everyone wants to study English.” 📚
