Overview

Indefinite pronouns have fixed agreement patterns. Always singular: everyone, someone, anyone, no one, each, every, either, neither, much. Always plural: both, few, many, several. Always agree with the noun: all, some, most, none (All of the water is / All of the students are).

Always Singular

  • every-everyone, everybody, everything + singular verb
  • some-someone, somebody, something + singular verb
  • any-anyone, anybody, anything + singular verb
  • no-no one, nobody, nothing + singular verb

Possessive Reference

  • Formal: Everyone should bring his or her own equipment.
  • Inclusive/modern: Everyone should bring their own equipment. (widely accepted)
  • Agree in number: Everyone has submitted their assignment ✅
  • Avoid: Everyone has submitted their assignments — plural noun inconsistency.

Common Mistakes

  • ❌ Everyone have finished → ✅ Everyone has finished
  • ❌ Nobody were there → ✅ Nobody was there
  • ❌ Something are wrong → ✅ Something is wrong
