I'm trying to think of this term I learned awhile ago and have somehow forgotten. My history teacher used it to describe the 1920's and how people were to "eat drink and be merry because tomorrow we may die". I remember he said the word or term came from some group or person in ancient times who really supported that idea. He also mentioned something about the story the Grasshopper and the Ant.

1. Please say me the difference.

2. Please tell me the difference.

If both are right, tell the difference. If either is wrong say the reason.

i have been asked to identify the 'collective nouns' & 'common nouns' is the following sentence:

a flock of geese in a garden

i know that 'garden' is a common noun

is "flock of geese" the collective noun?
or "flock" the collective noun?

if "flock" is the collective noun, does that mean "geese" is a common noun?
