Why it is wrong in some sentence to use a singular with plural and why it is true in some sentences when we use singular with singular? I have done exercise in our class about plural link with present tense and our teacher rised a question why when ever we use 's' at the end of any word it is not always plural but sometimes it works as singular liked with present tense.

Everyone is singular; so is she. There are no plurals in the sentence.

In this example "everyone" is singular and "seems " is also a singular

The word "sees" is not plural. It is not even a noun: it is a verb. Remember what your teacher told you: "not all words that add an s are plural nouns". Here, the addition of the -s is what happens to regular verbs in the present tense when they're used in the third person singular.
