They can take singular or plural nouns, depending on how they are used in the sentence. When the collective noun is thought of as acting as a whole, it should take a singular verb; when the individual members of a group are thought of as acting independently, then use a plural verb. For example: The jury is deliberating. (Acting as a unit, collective noun takes a singular verb) The jury are taking their seats.
