A group of tourists was standing outside Buckingham Palace. Or the plural when you're talking about the group as a loose collection of individuals: 2. A group of tourists were running round Buckingham Palace. MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 12,592 ...opella forensis / adducit febris... Plurals
