Atsie (atsie):

which word is in bold?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

team @Atsie

OpenStudy (mariakershaw):

idk this one @pooja195

OpenStudy (mariakershaw):

i think personal pronoun tho

Atsie (atsie):

Wait a sec here, lets take a look at what a personal pronoun is. A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated primarily with a particular person, in the grammatical sense. And indefinite pronouns are words which replace nouns without specifying which noun they replace

OpenStudy (mariakershaw):

ohh yea srry

Atsie (atsie):

An abstract noun is a noun denoting an idea, quality, or state rather than a concrete object and a collective noun is a word which refers to a collection of things taken as a whole.

Atsie (atsie):

So what would make most sense here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

abstrcact @Atsie

OpenStudy (mariakershaw):

yea

OpenStudy (mariakershaw):

gtg i am going to help some one else kay @Atsie will help

Atsie (atsie):

Nope. It would be a collective noun. Why? Because look at the definition. "a collection of things taken as a whole." TEAM.... this means MANY people are part of a team. But all these people makes that WHOLE. That TEAM.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhh okay i get it @Atsie

Atsie (atsie):

:)
