Singular or plural verbs with pronouns

Singular indefinite pronouns use a singular verb and plural indefinite pronouns need a plural verb…but that sentence may not help you! So I’ll give you a list of indefinite pronouns.

But first a simple rule to make it easier. Indefinite pronouns which end in –one or –body are always singular (anyone, everyone, somebody, etc.)
