I �m a native speaker and this is what I �d say although a suit of clothes seems a bit dated now.
1-a bunch of grapes
2-a set of tools
3-a flock of sheep
4-a flight of stairs
5-a herd of cows
6-a pack of cards
7-a suit of clothes
8-a school of fish
9-a gang of thieves
10a fleet of ships

A school of fish
A gang of thieves
A flock of sheep
A herd of cows
A pack of clothes
A set of tools
A suit of cards
A fleet of ships
A flight of stairs
A bunch of grapes
Sometimes we use a suit of cards - meaning having the same shapes e.g. hearts
A pack of cards means the whole deck
I �m not very sure about the suit of clothes so please check it out in the dictionary
Hope to have been of assistance to you... |

I agree with Aurore.
You say a suit of clothes, not a pack of clothes.
And both �school � of �shoal � of fish is correct.

Sorry! Most of the members have given answer as "School of fish". It should be "shoal of fish"

Shoal can describe any group of fish, including mixed-species groups, "school" is reserved for more closely knit groups of the same ...
Most of the people I know - (English mother tongue) say -school of fish. |
