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?
@van anh,
Hi
I think what you might find helpful is a dictionary.

@van anh,
The 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".
@van anh,
The subject of collective nouns is worth a whole lesson by itself.
But Americans just use "bunch".
Stumble It!
