Exceptions: None is interpreted in the singular or plural as meaning may require, although the plural is often used. [5] If none is clearly intended to mean no one, it should be followed by a singular verb. However, the SAT testing service does not consider anyone to be strictly singular. That decision went hand in hand with a bipartisan agreement to offer all registered voters the opportunity to vote by mail or early recall, according to the Louisville Courier Journal. “I thought we had already reached an agreement,” Simpson said with some warmth. Note: At common law, the agreement is a necessary part of a valid contract. According to Article 1-201, paragraph 3, of the Uniform Commercial Code, the agreement is the agreement of the parties as expressly represented by their language or implicitly by other circumstances (in the context of business). Modern English does not have a particularly big match, although it is present. By agreement, all parties met at Indian Spring to consider a second treaty in early February 1825. An example of this is the verb to work, which reads as follows (individual words in italics are pronounced /tʁa.vaj/): Also note the correspondence shown to be of subjunctive mood.

The opinions expressed in the examples do not reflect the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Spoken French always distinguishes the second person from the plural and the first person from the plural in the formal language of each other and the rest of the present in all but all verbs of the first conjugation (infinitives in -er). The plural form of the first person and the pronoun (nous) are now generally replaced in modern French by the pronoun on (literally: “one”) and a singular form of the third person. Thus, we work (formal) becomes work. In most verbs of other conjugations, each person can be distinguished in the plural from each other and singular forms, again if the first person of the traditional plural is used. The other endings that appear in written French (that is: all singular endings and also the third person plural of verbs that are not with infinitives in -er) are often pronounced in the same way, except in connection contexts. . . .
