The guest ion is why people say everyone/nobody/who and so on thinks, why we add the letter to the word think, also what is proper option everyone are or everyone is and who do not know or who does not know. Thank you beforehand

Present tense English verbs have an -s ending when the subject is "he", "she", or "it."
eg.

I think
you think
we think
they think
he, she, it thinks

John thinks that 2+2=4.
Everyone thinks that 2+2=4.
Who thinks that 2+2=5?
Nobody thinks that 2+2=5.
