(Issue 1) "Someone" and "Anyone" Take Singular Verbs. The indefinite pronouns "anyone," "each," "everyone," "no one," "nobody," and "someone" are singular. For example: Nowadays, anyone is able to reach their dreams with the help of technology.

8. Or" Does Not Conjoin, example: do you like meat or chicken?

(Issue 3) "Number Of" Takes a Plural Verb...Most of the Time. For example: The number of times I have told you to clean your room are uncountable.

(Issue 9) Beware Modifiers between the Subject and the Verb This issue involves the placement of modifiers that disturb the agreement between the subject and the verb in a sentence, resulting in grammatical mistakes. Example:

• Correct: The energetic and playful dog, who is always chasing its tail, runs in the park every morning.
• Incorrect: The energetic and playful dog who is always chasing its tail, run in the park every morning.

7: "Either" and "Neither" Are Singular example: I'm not keen on beef or lamb, but either is preferable to tofu. example: nether my brother likes her

5. None: The indefinite pronoun "none" can be singular or plural. However, be aware that treating "none" as plural might irk some of your readers as many people believe "none" can only be singular. example: none of my brothers are ready

(Issue 2) "All" and "Some" Can Take a Singular or a Plural Verb. For example: Some of my friends are naughty. Some friend out there must be naughty.

(Issue 4) Terms Like "Half Of," "the Majority Of," and "a Percentage Of" Can Be Singular or Plural. For example: The majority of people are omnivores. The majority of my class is vegan.

6: The Words after "As Well As" Are Not Part of the Subject: The words that follow terms like "as well as," "along with," and "together with" are not part of the subject. They do not compound the subject like "and" does. example: The king and his sons are visiting tomorrow.

(Issue 10) A List of Words That Cause Confusion The word that causes confusion are:

• Agenda
• Criteria
• Data
• Glasses
• Media
• News
• Pliers

(Issue 11) Collective Nouns Can be Singular or Plural Refers to the idea that collective nouns, which describe groups, have the flexibility to use either a singular or plural verb form depending on whether the focus is on the group as a unified entity or on the individual members within the group. Example:

• Singular Form: The jury is delivering its verdict.
• Plural Form: The jury are discussing their individual opinions.

(Issue 13) The Positive Element Governs the Verb. For example: The lions not the gazelles reign the animal kingdom.

(Issue 12) The Term "More Than One" Is Singular! This points to the grammar guideline that, even though it is phrased differently, the term "more than one" is regarded as a singular entity concerning agreement between subjects and verbs, and it necessitates the use of a singular verb. Example:

• More than one student is attending the workshop.
