When are collective nouns said to be plural when there is more than one of the same kind of group when there is more than one object in a group when there is more than one group when more than one act?

Collective nouns are considered plural when they refer to more than one group or collection of the same kind. For example, "teams" would indicate multiple groups of players, while "flocks" would refer to several groups of birds. However, if the focus is on the individual members of a single group, the collective noun can be treated as singular. The context in which the collective noun is used determines whether it is plural or singular.
