The noun 'people' is the plural form of the singular noun person.
Examples of the noun 'person' used as a subject in a sentence:
The person in charge is the general manager. (subject of the sentence)
I didn't hear what the person said. (subject of the relative clause)
Three singular subject pronouns are I, he, she. Note, the pronoun you can be singular or plural and subject or object.
No, "were" is a plural verb form. When the subject is singular, you should use "was."
No, a singular subject should take a singular verb. The verb should match the number of the subject in the sentence.
The singular form of subject pronouns includes: I, you, he, she, it. The plural form includes: we, you, they.
Use "was" when referring to a singular subject, and use "were" when referring to plural subjects or the second person singular (you). For example: "He was happy" (singular subject) vs. "They were happy" (plural subject) or "If I were you, I would go" (second person singular).
A singular verb has one subject; for example, 'She is here.' She is singular and takes the singular form of the verb. A plural verb has more than one subject; for example, 'Fran and Frank are here.' or 'They are here.' Fran and Frank are two people or they is the pronoun that represents them. They takes the plural form of the verb.
"Some" is usually used as a plural or non-count noun. To use it as a singular subject, you can combine it with a singular noun or pronoun. For example, "Some people is looking for a new job" instead of "Some people are looking for a new job."
A singular subject always has a singular verb.
In grammar, subject-verb agreement dictates that a singular subject should take a singular verb. This means that the verb form should match the number of the subject, either singular or plural. For example, "She runs" uses a singular verb form ("runs") to agree with the singular subject "she."
Verbs only have a plural or singular form when the subject is plural or singular. plural subject - books - The books cost a lot of money. plural subject - they - They cost a lot of money singular subject - book - The book costs a lot of money. singular subject - it - It costs a lot of money. For singular subjects add -s to the verb.
"Have" is paired with plural verbs, while "has" is paired with singular verbs. For example: "He has a car" (singular subject, singular verb) vs. "They have three children" (plural subject, plural verb).
The rules for subject verb agreement are that a singular subject requires a singular verb. Plurals subjects need plural verbs. For example, the singular subjects John takes the singular verb runs, or (John runs).
