Welcome.

Sorry. We do not do homework assignments, but we can guide you if you would like. What is your best guess?

Have you been studying nouns? If so, what does your coursework say about noun types? Let us know what your answer is and then we'll go from there.

All the best,

Thanks. So i am thinking that murderer is a concrete noun right?

[Casiopea]

Well done! Now, is it collective? That was your second question, right?

[charlotteruchat]

Thanks. No it is not collective, that would be murderers, yeah? Thanks very very much.
