English Erudition

It depends on how the noun is referred to, whether individually or collectively. We say, the couple were married and only the couple was left behind.

A collective noun names a group of individuals or things with a singular form. Examples of collective nouns are: faculty, herd, team. There are collective nouns for people, animals, objects, and concepts. The use of a singular or plural verb depends on the context of the sentence
