Worksheet on singular and plural infinitive pronouns and subject-verb agreement exercises.

You’ve uploaded a grammar worksheet focused on Subject-Verb Agreement with a section on Singular and Plural Indefinite Pronouns.

Let’s solve each sentence by choosing the correct verb form (either “is” or “are”) based on whether the subject is singular or plural.

---

✔ First, let’s review the key rules from the chart:

#### Singular Indefinite Pronouns:
> anybody, anyone, anything, each, everybody, everyone, everything, nobody, no one, nothing, somebody, someone, something, each, everybody, everyone

→ These take singular verbs (e.g., *is*, *was*, *has*)

#### Plural Indefinite Pronouns:
> both, few, many, others, several

→ These take plural verbs (e.g., *are*, *were*, *have*)

#### Mixed (Can be singular or plural depending on context):
> all, any, more, most, none, some

→ You must look at the noun or context that follows to decide.
