Jane is coming and she will bring the desert. (singular)
Joe and Joan are coming and they will bring the beverages. (plural)
Jim rides his bike to school. (singular)
The boys on our block ride their bikes to school. (plural)
The personal pronoun 'you' functions as both singular and plural: Jack, I've made lunch for you. (singular)
Boys, I've made lunch for you. (plural)
