Please help me! I had a sentence in my homework that i think is right but my techer marked it wrong. The jury_______ their seats in the courtroom. is it take/takes. I think it should be takes because jury is a collective noun and should be treated as singular. My teacher says its take and did not give me an explanation. please help
First, jury is a collective noun if you mean all the jurors as a group. I think this is how you are interpreting the sentence. Perhaps your teacher is thinking of the individual members in the jury…
