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)
