Use a singular verb when two or more pronouns or nouns are connected by "or" or "nor". When containing singular, plural noun, and pronoun joined by "or" or "nor” verb agrees with part of subject near verb. __"Doesn't" is an example of a singular project a contraction of "does not". Example of plural subject is "don't" contraction of it is "do not".__ The underlined part is a rule appearing in the case of first and second person. Verb agrees with subject not with a noun or pronoun. Noun "civics" is a singular verb and the noun "scissors" is a plural verb. In cases American English may call for use of plural verb when collective noun is used. ||  The main idea on Subject Verb Agreement is to use the correct verb on a sentence because then it won’t make sense or it will be wrong.   ||   ||
