The last examples you posted are using a personal 'a' because the collective noun represents a group of human beings.
A personal 'a' may be used with pets, too (in case you didn't know), but not with other animals. If you want to personify something, like your country, that can also be preceded by the personal 'a'. |

I'm just now seeing this thread, so I should have posted my other question about "tener" here.
![]() I have another question about the "a". I am looking at the following sample sentence in a section on indirect objects: "El chico comprará ese libro a su padre." Why is it "a" and not "para"? And another: "La bolsa de valores disminuyó el capital a los inversores." Why "a" instead of "para"?

The kid is going to buy the book from his father. The kid is going to buy the book for his father. It is ambiguous, so I am not sure if the meaning of "for" should be there. In this last phrase, more context is needed before answering, because it isn't clear if by "capital" is referring to the investors capital or the capital being asked... |
