Dear teachers,
Would you please tell me in what circumstances we can use a singular or a plural form of the verb with collective nouns?
In a similar article, I found two different agreements for the same type of sentence. Would you please tell me why?
"The Oklahoma City jury charged with deciding Holtzclaw's fate have not yet reached a decision as of 5:27 p.m. on Wednesday."
and
"Rally co-organizer Candace Liger said she isn’t surprised the jury has not yet reached a decision."
Best regards
