The jury disagree about the guilt of the
accused and have told the judge that
they are hopelessly deadlocked.
• Jury = plural; disagree, have told = plural
verbs; they = a plural pronoun.
Not everyone on the jury is thinking
the same way.


• Whenever you cannot decide if a collective noun
is singular or plural, exercise your options as a
good thinker. You have two ways that you can
compose the sentence without causing an
agreement error:
1)insert the word members after the collective noun
[jury members, committee members, board
members],
2) use an entirely different word [players instead

of team, students instead of class, soldiers instead
of army]. Then you can use plural verbs and pronouns
without worrying about making mistakes or sounding
unnatural.
