Answer:
⛄Rules for subject-verb agreement:
☘️1) If the subject is a third person singular noun, or the pronoun he, she, it, this or that, use a singular verb.
For example:
★ Kajol lives here. ★ It rains often.
★ He/She works hard. ★ This/That looks nice.
☘️2) If the subject is a third person plural noun, or the pronoun I, you, we or they, use a plural verb.
For example:
★ I like to sing.
★ You work hard.
★ Pulkit and Richa cook at home.
★ They reply on time.
☘️3) If two subjects are joined by and (compound subject), use a plural verb.
For example:
★ Harsha and I enjoy reading.
★ Megha and Suhana travel together.
☘️4) If the subject is an indefinite pronoun ending in -body, -one, -thing or -where, or a pronoun that implies 'one', such as either, neither, each and none, use a singular verb.
For example:
★Everybody exercises.
★ Nobody wants sorrows.
★ None fits me.
★ Everything looks fine.
★ Anywhere is a good place.
★ Neither (of the two) has a battery.
☘️5) If the subject is an indefinite pronoun such as both, many, much, all, few or a few, use a plural verb.
For example:
★ Both the twins are going to the fair.
★ Many have attempted this.
★ Few have already left.
★ All love honest people.
☘️6) If the subject is a determiner such as most, some or all followed by a noun, consider whether the noun is countable (singular or plural) or uncountable, and use the verb in agreement.
For example:
★ Most lakes are dry. (countable noun lakes following most; plural verb)
★ Most information was found online. (uncountable noun information following most; singular verb)
★ Some tea is still left. (uncountable noun tea following some; singular verb)
★ Some files are missing. (countable plural noun files following some; plural verb)
★ All water has dried up. (uncountable noun water following all; singular verb)
★ All children eat ice cream. (countable plural noun children following all; plural verb)
