The noun 'none' is an obscure use for the fifth of the canonical hours; also 'nones' the ninth day before the ides of a month; in the ancient Roman calendar, the seventh day of March, May, July, or October and the fifth day of the other months. Both forms take a singular verb.

The word none is more commonly an indefinite pronoun, which can take a singular or plural verb, depending on use:

I turned on the water but none is coming out.

I made plenty but none are left.

The word none is also an adverb, a word that modifies a verb, either singular or plural; for example:

We are none too early for the service. He is none too early for the service.

Verbs are not technically singular and plural, but rather are in "agreement" with the subject being used. "Plural verbs" are used with plural nouns, except where the noun is a "group" plural. Generally speaking, an S noun does not use an S verb. Other improper plurals (men, geese) likewise do not use the S verbs.Examples :The boy walks to the store. (The s verb goes with the singular noun.)The boys walk to the store. (The s noun does not use an s verb.)The team walks to the park. (group noun)The family visits the zoo often. (group noun)Pronouns only use the S verbs for third person singular.(I sit. We sit. You sit. They sit.) but (he, she, or it sits)
