نه مفرده نگفته دسته های گرگها گفته دسته یا گروه گرگها :point_left: pack بااینکه در مفهوم به جمع اشاره میکنه ولی در اصل ظاهر کلمه مفرده به معنی دسته و wolf هم وابسته به اسم بعدش مفرد اومده
ما در فارسی میگیم دسته گرگها، یدونش مفرد و یدونش جمعه اما در انگلیسی صفت و موصوف باید از هرلحاظ شبیه هم باشند هردو مفرد یا هردوجمع وچون pack مفرده اونم مفرد اومده
