Nice try kayrol !!!
Let's correct.
Correct words
- A group of animals = a herd
- A group of soldiers = an army
- A group of trees = a forest
- A group of players = a team
- A group of bees = a swarm
Also :
- A group of words = a sentence
- A group of musicians = a band
I agree with these words in green, but I had other ones in mind.
Will you guess which ones ?
Wrong or unwritten words
- A group of listeners = ( not an assembly )
- A group of robbers =
- A group of relations =
- A group of citizens = ( not a society either )
So you have to find 6 words !!
See you soon !

Hello Serena,
I think Speedjo found my missing words.
Regarding the group of musicians, I had the reflex of thinking about the word "band" because it makes me think about Rock, I love it.
True, for classical music, we use the word "orchestra"
See you, and I loved that exercice

A group of animals - a herd (cows, deer, goats), a flock (sheep, birds), a covey (doves, pigeons), an exaltation (larks), a pride (lions)...many others depending on the animal
A group of listeners - an audience
A group of trees - a copse, a stand, a wood, a forest, a jungle

Begging your pardon. A covey of quails. (My puppy was distracting me.)
