How to carry out objectives?
Are objectives done alone, in a group or does it just depends?

Objectives can be secured by the team, alone or with a small group. Depends on the situation in early to mid game. In late game objectives are almost always secured by the team as going alone leads to high chances of being instant gibbed by a 5 man roam. Vision becomes super important late game as each team needs to see what objectives the enemy may be trying in order to be able to challenge.
Early game ganks resulting in a double kill is one of the best times to try and grab dragon for the team that got the kills.
Lastly Rotation, Rotation, Rotation. In high level play understanding how to manage creep wave and force large waves to build becomes important to securing objectives because it puts the enemy team in a position where they have to choose between losing a tower to massed creep or challenging your objective control. By keeping close attention to timers and map control with vision wards you can force the enemy into the dangerous posistion of moving blindly to challenge you allowing you to bait traps or simply secure objectives quickly as a team why they are forced to defend towers from massed creep.
As an example: Say i see that dragon is up soon (about a minute) and I know our team wants to try for it. I kill all but the three caster minions of an enemy wave in top lane which forces a massive wave to start building and slowly rolling down the lane. We then go to dragon and clear enemy vision with sweepers and vision wards. This puts the enemy team in a bad position. They either A)Let us have dragon, B)Come en-masse to stop us from getting dragon, but at the cost of their tower taking massive damage or falling to an enormous creep wave, or C) Leaving one behind to defend the tower and attempt to force us off dragon in a 4v5 our favor. Clearly not fun choices.
And when do I know when is the right time to do these objectives?
league gameplay is pretty intuitive, you get the feel for it somehow there are too many factors like how ahead/ behind you are position of minion wave size of minion wave health on tower position of everyone on the map what champ you are playing overall team comp vision when minion wave spawns timers on other objectives enemy death timers your position on the map
and eventually you see it all, how you react to what factor is presented is totally up to what you amassed over time if you are still confused, you can ask a far more specific question than you would now anyway
