The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Which is correct, my family is or my family are?
That makes sense. Is there any other grammar rule I should know about when it comes to collective nouns?
Yes, there is. Collective nouns can often be tricky because they can be singular or plural depending on the context. For example, "the team is" versus "the team are." It's generally a matter of style and what sounds more natural to you.
