I is not used as a plural subject. It is a singular subject. I believe you are wondering why it doesn't use the same verb form as the singular pronouns he and she. It's because the verb form is not based simply on the number of subjects, but also on the person.
English verbs change depending on three things: number, tense, and person.
Number refers to singular (I, you, he, she) or plural (we, they).
Tense refers to past, present, future, and so forth.
Person refers to first person (I, we), second person (you), or third person (he, she, it, they).
Here’s an example, using the verb go:
I go, you go, we go, he goes, she goes, you (all) go, they go.
In the above example, goes is used not just for singular subjects, but for third-person singularsubjects. I is singular, but it’s first-person singular, so it uses the first-person verb form go.
Here's another example:
I eat, we eat, you eat, you (all) eat, he eats, she eats, Garfield eats, they eat.
Again, the -s form (eats) is reserved not just for singular, but specifically for third-person singular.
