Words at Work: Group Words, Phrases and Has or Have
One word can name a whole group, a phrase can work as one word, and has or have with the third form tells about finished work that still matters.
- A group word names many things together, like a flight of parrots or a swarm of bees.
- Each group has its own word, so a flock of sheep is right but a swarm of sheep is wrong.
- A phrase is a small team of words with one meaning, like look after or came across.

Speak, Listen and Write about Birds
Practise the ai and oi sounds, listen for facts about bird sanctuaries, and write what happened to the parrot after it flew out of the cage.
- The letters ai give the sound in tail and sail; the letters oi give the sound in coin and soil.
- Changing one sound changes the whole word, as tail becomes toil.
- Good listeners sit still, watch the speaker and catch names, numbers and places.
