Subject Verb Agreement
A singular subject needs a verb in the singular form, and a plural subject needs a verb in the plural form. Here are some basic examples of subject / verb agreement:
Singular Subject & Singular Verb
- The student goes to the library after school.
Plural Subject & Plural Verb
- The students do their homework together in the evening.
Subject Verb Agreement: Indefinite Pronouns
Indefinite Pronouns
- something
- someone
- somebody
- each
- everything
- everyone
- everybody
- either
- anything
- anyone
- anybody
- neither
- nothing
- no one
- nobody

Indefinite pronouns are singular, so they need a singular form verb:
- Everyone in the town helps clean up after the street party.
- One of the people I met was a musician.
- Neither of the songs is my favorite.
