present tense - From his remarks I infer he doesn't like me

past tense - From his testimony the manager inferred the clerk was lying.

Do not confuse imply and infer.

We infer from something someone has said. But imply means to hint or suggest something.

What it mean the expression the number requires singular verb a number requires plural verb?

If "the number" is the subject of a sentence or clause, the verb in the same sentence or clause should be singular in form, but if "a number" is the subject of a sentence or clause, the verb in the same sentence or clause should be plural in form. The rationale supporting this rule is that the phrase "the number" implies that only one number is being considered, but "a number" implies that more than one number is likely.

Which form does a verb take to express a hypothetical situation?

Hypothetical sentences usually have an "if clause" and a "result clause". The "result clause" contains a modal auxiliary verb (would, could, should, etc.) and the verb in the "if clause" is usually in subjunctive form. Conditional (hypothetical) sentences can be confusing because they use past tense verbs to express present tense conditions.If I were you, I would rethink my actions.(Notice that "were" is not the typical singular first person conjugation of "to be".)That sentence is hypothetical because it is not possible for "I" to be "you". The sentence is also present tense.If she were rich, she would travel the world.Again, that sentence is hypothetical (contrary to fact). "She" is not rich. It expresses a wish, and it is also present tense.
