The general rule of the subject-verb agreement in the number is this: the subject in the singular requires the verb in the singular. The subject in the plural requires the verb in the plural. The verb (i.e. the verb in the predicate) corresponds to the subject in person and in number. For example, I work; We/she work; my brother works; My brothers are working. On the other hand, there is an indeterminate pronoun, none that can be singular or plural; It doesn`t matter if you use a singular or a plural adverb, unless something else in the sentence determines its number.

This is called subject-verb agreement or concord: Note: In this example is the subject of the sentence pair; That is why the verb must agree.

Some names that end in s/il are plural in form, but singularly in the sense, for example news, mathematics, physics, measles. These names require a singular verb. The pronouns "everyone, everyone, everything, someone, someone, someone, anyone, anything, nobody, nothing, one, not even" take a singular verb. For example, she writes every day. Exception: If you use the singular "she," use plural shapes.
