collective noun. n. 1. (Grammar) a noun that is singular in form but that refers to a group of people or things. Usage: Collective nouns are usually used with singular verbs: the family is on holiday; General Motors is mounting a big sales campaign.
Many nouns can be singular or plural; these are count nouns. Noncount nouns, on the other hand, have only a singular form; to make them plural is illogical. Godzilla ate three pizzas, two delivery boys, and six parked cars. Pizzas, boys, and cars = count nouns.
