This is a great video and is very insightful. I hear the plural conjugation commonly used, especially in Australia, NZ and the United Kingdom. A native American-English speaker would never use the plural form. Thanks. Love your channel
Hello I'm Korean and came to here in Brisbane, Australia as a working holiday Visa and I'm having difficulty with listening to Australian accent haha. So I subscribed to your channel and it's really helpful for me. Thanks for your videos ^^
I have noticed this as well in the past few years. Also, when you pronounce ‘English’ it sounds to me as if you are saying ‘Engwish’. You are an excellent speaker and great communicator!
Lol you're not the first person to say that and in fact when I get my podcast episodes transcribed by a website, often it transcribes "English" as "Anguish". haha
Thanks for this informative video and appreciate what you are doing. Recently I got a job in Call Center and I have to make sales calls to Australian customers and businesses, get a lot of rejection as not a native speaker. Could you please make a video about how to make sure in initial few seconds of phone call that customer listens and don't hang up. May be something that dont make them feel they are talking overseas.
It's true that we native speakers tend to mix singular words with collective words. I guess we just say what sounds right, even if it's not grammatically correct.
Hi Pete, once I talked with my friend about movie, The Matrix in fact. I said "I love it" and I meant it, I still watch it again sometimes. But then he corrected me "You loved it?". Why is that? Same thing to Music, books? Thank you.
Interesting. I think that he's focusing on the experience you HAD with something as happening in the past as opposed to what you THINK of it in the present. I love the Matrix. It's one of my favourite movies. I loved the Matrix when I first saw it. It was amazing and still is. It's just different ways of thinking about the same thing, past vs present.
Great tips man, so I am advanced in English, if I go to Austrália, can I understand australians? I mean, I've studied american English. Good job and congrats.
I HATE this! I noticed it first from Brits, but now even Americans are picking it up! Things like "Apple ARE releasing a new iPhone", which is WRONG! The English are terrible at speaking English!
Ah so Aussies do this too. I've seen this in a US vs UK dialect comparison where apparently Americans never do this but English people do, so it's cool to know Aussies do this too.

I’ve seen grammar books that allow you to make the choice between a group of individuals or singular collective noun.
Thank you! Very useful!
Cheers, Num! What would you like the next video to cover?
Thank you Pete! It was very useful)
Cheers, Maria!

The collective noun should always be singular-at least in American English.
Hehe ask them why some Americans say "He do". Languages are strange haha
It's true that we native speakers tend to mix singular words with collective words. I guess we just say what sounds right, even if it's not grammatically correct.
Yeah, I think that's the beautiful part of how languages evolve over time too.

collective nouns using plural verbs will always sound wrong to me
you wrote "into" at the beginning as "in a"
I agree with the weirdo! 😂
I can use the sound of your videos
Hope you're enjoying them, mate!
Yes, thank you. Do I understand from your answer? Yes
One of the things that loads of native speakers say that i just can't stand is "try and do it" 😂

Yeah, I haven't paid enough attention to other dialects of English, but it's definitely common in Australia.
