Indefinite Pronouns and Subject-Verb Agreement

The video tutorial introduces the concept of subject-verb agreement, explaining that a singular subject must take a singular verb, while a plural subject must take a plural verb. It provides examples such as 'she stands' and 'they brush.' The tutorial also covers indefinite pronouns like 'someone' and 'everybody,' which are singular and require singular verbs. Exercises are included to reinforce learning, with sentences to complete and words to underline, ensuring understanding of subject-verb agreement in various contexts.
