The rule is that a singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb.
The important note is that plural verbs are generally those that do not end in S. For the third person singular, the singular verb will often have an S.
Example:
The boys eat. (plural)
The boy eats. (singular)
They eat. (plural pronoun)
He eats. (singular pronoun)
