Singular/Plural Agreement (Verbs and Pronouns) Practice AK

  1. "They" is plural, so "needs" should be "need." 
  2. "He" is singular, so "talk" needs to be "talks."
  3. "Sally and Evan" is plural, so "talks" should be "talk."
  4. "Everyone" is singular, so "their" should be "his or her."
  5. "No one" is singular, so this sentence is perfect.  
  6. "All students" is plural, and "his or her" is singular and should be "their."
  7. "Everyone" is singular, so "their" should be "his or her" (this is awkward but we have no gender neutral singular, so this is what we have). 
  8. "The jury" is singular, so "their" should be "its."
  9. "Alaska" is singular, so "their" should be "its."
  10. "museum" is singular, so "are" should be "is." (The parenthetical "along with all of its employees" is put in there to trick you, "museum" is the subject of the sentence.)
