Morning /Evening brotheres & sisters
hope you are enjoing a great day so far
One of the craziest oddities of the English language is
that there are so many different collective nouns
that all mean "group" but which are specific
to what particular thing there is a group of:
a herd of elephants, a crowd of people, a box of crayons, a pad of paper, etc
here we will learn them
share the ones we knew and
learn new one
