Most indefinite pronouns take the singular form of the verb. E.g. Some of Mr. Badregon's fear of Sophie is well-founded.
However, in a lot of examples the singular agreement would not work. Even so, a lot of people still consider most indefinite pronouns to take on singular agreements. Here is an example of a sentence in which a singular agreement would not work.
E.g. Some of Mr. Badregon's antics is exciting.
Some pronouns or pronoun replacement phrases, such as more than one can have either a plural or a singular agreement, depending on the organization of the sentence:
E.g. More Writer's Craft classes than one are soul-enriching experiences. This can have the same meaning, written a different way:
E.g. Of all Writer's Craft classes, more than one is a soul-enriching experience.
Many indefinite pronouns, as in the cases of all and none, have both plural and singular agreements available:
E.g. None of the time is spent productively.
None of the accounts are balanced. This has been a short information page on Agreements with indefinite pronouns. I hope you enjoyed yourself!
