Singular Indefinite Pronouns
Captions available
The idea
Most indefinite pronouns take a singular verb: anyone, anybody, anything, each, everyone, everybody, everything, nobody, no one, nothing, one, someone, somebody and something.
In practice
"Everyone in the choir sings." "Each of the rooms has a window."
Where people slip
Everyone sounds like a crowd, but grammatically it is singular, and so is each.
