Coletivos em inglês (intermediário)

Requisitos para esta Lição:

- Conhecer os coletivos em português (4.ª série);
- Conhecer as palavras que estão na coluna do lado direito (substantivos).

Uma das peculiaridades (oddities) da língua inglesa é que existem muitos diferentes coletivos que são "grupos" específicos àquela coisa particular: a herd of elephants, a crowd of people, a box of crayons, a pad of paper, etc.
