The subject and verb must agree in a sentence, else the sentence will be grammatically incorrect.

Some basic rules:

• A singular noun needs a singular verb.
• A plural noun needs a plural verb.
• When the subject is an indefinite pronoun (like everyone, nobody, anywhere), use a singular verb (has, is, knows).
• When the subject is a collective noun (staff, government, team), the verb can be singular or plural, depending on the usage. You need to read and write a lot to understand this part.
