Not always. Somehow the subject may both singular & plural, in that case if I want to make a sense of plural then I use the plural verb.

A singular subject must have a singular verb, and a plural subject must have a plural verb. When the subject is joined by "and," use a plural verb. Use a singular verb with singular indefinite pronouns like "everyone" or "nobody." Collective nouns can take a singular or plural verb depending on the context. Make sure to match the verb with the closest subject when using phrases like "along with" or "as well as."

Plural or singular verbs are not important for conjunctions. They are only important for the subjects of a sentence and conjunctions are not subjects.eg.He walks through the park everyday.he = singular subject, walks = verb through = conjunction.They walk through the park every day.they = plural subject, walk = verb, through = conjunction.Notice the form of the verb for the singular subject - verb + s. Also notice the conjunction remains the same for both sentences.

How do you know when to use a singular or plural verb in a sentence?

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)
