The word that exists, a contraction from there, leads to bad habits in informal sentences like There are many people here today because it is easier to say “there is” than “there is”. Be careful never to use it with a plural subject. Indefinite pronouns can pose particular problems in the agreement of the subject. What form of verb to use in this case? Does the verb have to be singular to correspond to a word? Or does the verb have to be plural to match the other? The subject-verb match rules apply to all personal pronouns except I and you, which, although SINGULAR, require plural forms of verbs. Some nouns are regularly plural in form, but singular in meaning. No book is reproducible without permission. None of the peas are left on Sean`s plate. (“peas” is the speaker and is in the plural) In the present tense, nouns and verbs form plurals in opposite ways: Note: The word dollar is a special case.
When talking about a sum of money, we need a singular verb, but when referring to the dollars themselves, a plural verb is required. Subjects and verbs must correspond in number (singular or plural). So, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; If a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural. 2. Whether the different parts of the composite subject are connected by or not, use the verb form (singular or plural) that corresponds to the subject closer to the verb. Employees decide how they want to vote. Cautious speakers and drafters would avoid assigning the singular and plural they assign to staff in the same sentence.

Article 9[edit] For collective nouns such as group, jury, family, public, population, the verb may be singular or plural, depending on the intention of the author.
The difficulty is that some indefinite pronouns sound plural when they are really singular. Of course, group substitutes, like other nouns, can also come in plural forms (with an s). However, there are guidelines for deciding which verb form (singular or plural) to use with one of these nouns as a subject in a sentence. A present verb (as well as a simple past tense of the verb be) must correspond to its subject in number. That is, the verb must be singular if its subject is singular, and plural if its subject is plural. When members of a collective noun perform an action as individuals, use a plural verb. In this case, all or some members of the group do something independently of the other members; The group does not act as a unit together. Although these nouns seem to be plural because they end in s, they actually refer only to one thing that consists of smaller, uncounted parts. Therefore, they are considered singular. But there are cases where a singular collective noun actually expresses a plural idea and requires a plural verb. The following guidelines will help you decide whether a singular or plural collective noun uses a singular or plural verb. The rest of this lesson deals with some more advanced subject-verb agreement rules, and with the exception of the original subject-verb agreement rule in recent years, the SAT test service has not considered any of them to be strictly singular.

If none should clearly mean “not one,” a singular verb follows. Since they can describe either the individuals in the group (more than one plural) or the group as a single entity (just a singular), these nouns pose particular problems. Anyone who uses a plural verb with a collective noun should be careful to be accurate – and also consistent. We must not be negligent.
The following is the kind of erroneous sentence you often see and hear these days: For money, if the amount is specific, use a singular verb; If the amount is vague, use a plural verb. Note: Two or more plural subjects associated with or (or not) would of course need a plural verb to agree.
