Verbs

Currently, I am doing an assignment that requires me to circle the correct verb that goes with a pronoun. Is there a list of verbs or a rule that tells me which verbs are singular or plural?

For example:

No one (plans, plan) an outdoor party in a thunderstorm?

Few from our school (compete, competes) every month.

none of the runners (refuse,refuses) the cool water.

Anonymous Is there a list of verbs or a rule that tells me which verbs are singular or plural? Your three sentences are all present tense, third person. Your problem is to decide if the pronouns are singular or plural.

The singular pronouns take the verb form with "s." The plural pronouns take the verb form without "s."

The number (singular or plural) of the subject determines the form of the verb.
