When you conjugate a verb, you want a subject

In a positive sentence/clause, the verb agrees with the subject - keeping in mind the/any tenses requirements.

In a negative sentence/clause, you get this pattern: S + Aux not (+ rest of the verb) (+ Complements)

In a question, you get this pattern: (Interrogative word) Aux + S + rest of the verb + (Complements

verb agrees with the subject. with that concept we should write " All now depends on .... Or "All now depend on.."

Let's say Brian is competing for the great country of Grammarland in the Olympics. If Brian wins his race, then he will be a hero to all Grammarlandians. In this case, "All now DEPEND on Brian." This means, All (of the Grammarladians) depend on Brian. The "of the Grammarlandians" is implied and makes the subject singular because we are grouping every Grammarl
