A noun is a name of a person, animal, place, or thing. There are many types of nouns and one of these types is Collective Nouns. A Collective noun is a noun that is used for the collection of a thing, animal, people, etc. We use some specific words to call that collection.
An extensive list of collective nouns is available here for your learning. For your ease, we have divided that list into things, animals and people.
Few collective nouns for animals are a swarm of bees, a herd of cattle, a flock of sheep, and an army of ants.
For things, we can have a bunch of keys, a bowl of rice, a cloud of dust, and a packet of letters.
An army of soldiers, a gang of prisoners and, a band of musicians are examples of collective nouns used for persons.
A pdf file is also available for your ease.
