While writing a precis text, the following are not applicable

• Use of jargons and abbreviations
• Use of own opinion or criticism
• Statements in question format

A good precise writing should follow the below guidelines to avoid errors:

• The sentence must be short and clear
• Use easy words which are easy to understand
• It should be written in own words
• It must be 1/3^rd of the original text

Generally a precise writing in written in present tense only if the event has not ended. Also, precise must be written in reported or indirect speech i.e., in third person (he, she, it, they).

The precise writing helps in providing text briefly and as clear as possible. The important ideas are provided and the irrelevant information are cut down. Precise text provides the central ideas and saves time from reading long texts. 

Precis writing is summarizing the text in brief by keeping the key details intact without any personal ideas or jargons. While writing precisely, certain rules must be followed to cover only important aspect in the text.

A collective noun is a word given to group of people, things or animals. Example: herd, family, flock, government and so forth.

These nouns are usually treated as a singular noun even though it refers to a group of animal, thing or people.

Check some of the rules of nouns below:

1. Some nouns, while singular in meaning, are always treated as plural and take plural verbs.
2. Certain nouns always appear in the plural form and require plural verbs.
3. When nouns refer to measurements (such as weight, length, time, or money), and are preceded by a specific number, their form remains unchanged.
4. Abstract or uncountable nouns always take singular verbs.
5. Collective nouns may take either singular or plural verbs, depending on whether the group is seen as a single unit or as individuals.
