Answer:
I can tell you 6 rules.
Rule 1- singular subject takes singular verb and plural subject takes plural verb.
Rule 2-If a subject is joined by and always takes plural verb.
Rule 3-ndefinite pronouns (everyone, each one, someone, somebody, no one, nobody, anyone, anybody etc.) are always singular.
Rule 4-When the percentage or a part of something is mentioned with plural meaning the plural verb is used.
Rule 5-When the subjects joined by ‘either or’ or ‘neither nor’ are of different persons. IT must take plural subjects.
Rule 6-If connectives/appositives like along with, together with, as well as, accompanied by etc. are used to combine two subjects, the verb agrees with the subject mentioned first.
