Singulier ou Pluriel – Le français d’aujourd’hui

Part of 5 minutes of French a Day | French Headaches

It’s sometimes fuzzy to know how to figure out if a noun triggers a singular or plural verb in French, particularly for collective nouns.

A collective noun is a word used in its singular form to express a set of items, 2 or more.

Examples of collective nouns are: the family, the police, the people…

Because it’s not consistent with English, the question is: ‘is this verb singular or plural in French?’

The police ARE (plural) here. ≠ La police EST (singular) là.
