Plural nouns are used with plural verbs. Another journey of challenge and danger was about to begin. Collective nouns can have a singular or plural verb. If the noun refers to the unit as a whole, the verb is singular. If it refers to the individual members of a unit, the verb is plural. The boys team has some good players, but the girls is a better team. My dog team were not with me to pull my sled.
