However , in the second sentence, the collective noun is
regarded as plural and takes the plural verb ' have' , Again while the collective noun takes the singular pronoun 'it' when used as singular,.it requires the plural pronoun 'they,' when used as plural .
Examples of collective nouns:
class, committee, community , crowd, family, flock, gang, government, group, jury, legislative , the clergy, the public, the elite, the united nations, the united states.
Concrete Nouns: are things that can be seen or touched e. g. table, ruler, house, bag. e.t.c.

Uncountable Common Nouns : are those that cannot be counted and they therefore have
only the singular form.
Examples:
Sand, rice, water, music anger, education, progress.
Two other groups of common nouns which are themselves members of the countable or uncountable noun groups can be identified. These are Abstract Nouns and Collective Nouns.
Abstract Nouns: relate to ideas as opposed to concrete objects. They are both countable and uncountable.
Countable: ideas, skill, concept, remark, admission.
Uncountable: anger, happiness, education, wisdom.
Collective Nouns: are names of groups of people or things . They are treated as singular or plural nouns depending on whether the group is conceived as a single entity or as being made up of several members.
For example: the use of the collective noun family in the following sentences
The family has a house in
town where it lives
The family have a house in
town where they live
In the first sentence , the collective noun is regarded as singular and the singular verb 'has'.
