anybody/nobody/someone
it is after the the word such as anybody,nobody and someone,the verb work is appear in singular context?
so,it should follow by adding 's' in the verb word that is used.
nobody/someone/anybody corrects you....................

The main meaning of persuade is to make someone agree to do something by giving good reasons for dong it.
the word agree above is appear in singular context...
so,after the word of someone,the verb word need to add 's' or otherwise?
thanks..

The key is the verb "to make" in this case. It's followed by the bare infinitive - to make [to] agree to do If instead of "make" you use "force," which is followed by the complete infinitive, you can better see how the form works. Someone tries to force someone to agree to do something.
