It is singular. You would say 'somebody is there', not 'somebody are there'. 'Nobody' and 'everybody' are also singular. So are 'someone', 'no-one', and 'everyone'. So are 'something', 'nothing', and 'everything'. The root words are 'body', 'one', and 'thing', which are all singular. Therefore the full words are singular.

Do the pronoun and antecedent agree in When someone wants to succeed at school they have to know how to study and manage time?

"When someone wants to succeed at school they have to know how to study and manage time."The pronoun "they" does not agree in number with the antecedent "someone".The pronoun "someone" is a singular indefinite pronoun.The pronoun "they" is a plural personal pronoun.However, the pronoun "someone" is a gender neutral pronoun. There is no singular, gender neutral, personal pronoun that can take its place. It is common practice in English to use the gender neutral, plural pronouns "they" or "them" to take the place of a singular, gender neutral noun or pronoun antecedent.An alternate to using a pronoun that doesn't agree in number is changing the singular antecedent "someone" to the plural, gender neutral noun "students"."When students want to succeed at school they have to know how to study and manage time."
