I feel confused about these words:" school", "herd", " flock", "pack".
I don't know the differences and usages of them.
Could you explain to me?

[+1] - TTH - 07/10/2009Hi :) I think what you might find helpful is a dictionary. http://dictionary.reference.com/
[+1] - contrex - 07/10/2009The words are collective nouns which are used for groups of different creatures. Do not be a lazy student. Consult your dictionary. Check out "sleuth" and "murder".
[+1] - McTag - 07/10/2009The subject of collective nouns is worth a whole lesson by itself. But Americans just use "bunch".
