BASIC RULE If the subject is singular the verb has an _______ at the end.

If the subject is plural the verb has an _______ at the end.

THESE CREATE PROBLEMS:

Pronouns such as everyone and everybody seem plural, but they are always singular — so they need a __________ at the end of the verb.

1. Everyone who worked on the science project ___ a winner.

2. Someone ___ to answer the phone.

THESE CREATE PROBLEMS: Phrases that come between the

subject pronoun and its verb —may contain plural words and confuse. (Body, One, Thing, Each, Either, Neither) are all singular

Each of the basketball players ___ excited about tonight’s game.

THESE CREATE PROBLEMS:When either and neither appear as a

subject alone (without the words or and nor), they are singular.

1. Either of those answers seems to be right.

2. You can have the bed by the window or the one by the door. Either ____ okay with me.

Seems like plural things!
