A "team" has or have an assigned task?

I usually use " My team has this task to do" , but I was wondering if I am misusing has, because "People are" and the team is people.

Solution 1:

People is a plural noun. Team can be treated as singular or plural.

So "My team has this task to do" is perfectly OK and, like you, I prefer it to "My team have this task to do."

Yes, "people are". And "people have this task to do."
