ới danh từ tập hợp jury: After deliberating, the jury reports its verdict. Sau khi cân nhắc kỹ lưỡng, bồi thẩm đoàn tuyên bố phán quyết của mình. The jury have many specialized skills. (Các thành viên) Bồi thẩm đoàn có nhiều kỹ năng chuyên biệt. Trong câu trên, jury được xem là một tổng thể duy nhất nên động từ theo sau ở hình thức số ít (reports).

Danh từ tập hợp number có thể đòi hỏi động từ số ít hoặc số nhiều: “The number of...” thì luôn luôn cần động từ số ít; “A number of …” thì cần động từ ở hình thức số nhiều. The number of employees needing supervision is diminishing. Số người làm công cần được giám sát đang giảm đi.
