Require vs Requires

Hello

Please advise which one is correct.

John has all of the information he require to follow up with the customer
or
John has all of the information he requires to follow up with the customer.

Also, do we need to put "of the" before information?

Thanks

The pronoun "he" refers to John, one person, so it's in the singular. " But you need the article.

The pronoun "he" refers to John, one person, so it's in the singular. It will thus take a singular verb form, "requires."

Your choice: "all of the information" or "all the information." But you need the article.

So just to confirm.

If I said: They require to follow up with him. This sentence is correct?

Regarding "all of the information" and "all the information", you saying it does not matter?

If you mean that they have to get in touch with him: "They are required to follow up with him."

About the information, I'm saying it doesn't matter.

Sorry, I've made a mistake. What I meant to say was: They have all the information they require to follow up with that customer.

I assume this is correct because they is plural and require is plural too. Am I right?

Thanks
