Entertainment / Literature / Collective Pronoun Collective Noun: A noun such as team or pair that technically refers to a collective group of individuals or individual items. What makes them tricky in grammar? They can be singular or plural (e.g., one team, two teams, or one pair, two pairs.) Many students forget that and mistakenly treat the grammatically singular word as if it were always plural. Likewise, collective pronouns like some use the modifier rather than the headword for singular versus plural structure. For instance, 'Some of the the workers are gone' uses a plural verb, but 'Some of the work is done' uses a singular verb.
