Subject Verb Agreement: In subject verb agreement, the verb always agrees with its subject in number (singular and plural) and in person. Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.
Singular Subject Singular Verb: If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular. There are some special cases:
A) When two nouns suggest the same idea or refer to the same person or thing, we use singular verb.
B) If the singular subject is preceded by each and every, the verb is generally singular.
C) For collective nouns we use singular verb, like "family," "class," "pack," "bouquet," "pair," and "flock"
D) Some nouns are plural (ending with -s) such as news, thesis, hypothesis, crisis, analysis, politics, physics, mathematics, economics, ethics, athletics, etc but singular in meaning singular verb is used.
E) Uncoutable nouns are treated as singular. Uncountable in nature like furniture, luggage, information, advice, work, knowledge, equipment, behaviour, scenery, traffic, fruit, electricity, music, progress, weather, nonsense, sense, etc, can't be pluralized by adding 's'. Uncountable noun take singular verbs. e.g.
F) Usually, singular verb is used in sentences showing arithmetical calculation. Also, note the following views of Norman Lewis. e.g.
Exceptional Case: Some nouns appear singular but are plural in meaning they take plural verbs. Such commonly used nouns are dozen. Some nouns appear singular but are plural in meaning: hundred, million, cattle, people, score, thousand, gentry, police, peasantry, company, alphabet, progeny, offspring,clergy, infantry, etc. e.g.
