Dear teachers:


We use "Jack and his friends" sometimes.

I want to described a group of people.
Jack is in the group.
case 1. Jack's father, mother,and classmates are all in the group
case 2. A team of people whose relation with Jack is unknown.
case 3. the same as case 2, but I don't want to use "Jack"
ex: "The one" or something except the names.

What can I use as the subject in these conditions?

Thanks for your replies.

I am not sure I understand your questions, but "Jack's group" might fit your number 1 and 2 above.

Thanks for your reply.
"Jack's group "is my best choice.
