First, understand this idea.

“The box of pencils is here.” Subject box hai, pencils nahi. Is liye is aata hai. “The pencils are here” mein subject plural hai. Collective nouns ka use British English mein context ke mutabiq badal sakta hai.

The box of pencils is on the desk.

پنسلوں کا ڈبہ میز پر ہے۔
