Choose the correct sentence: ‘Everybody ___ invited to the party.’

Explanation

Indefinite pronouns such as ‘everybody,’ ‘everyone,’ ‘somebody,’ and ‘nobody’ are always treated as grammatically singular in standard English, even though they refer to a group of people in meaning. This is why the singular verb ‘is’ is correct in ‘Everybody is invited,’ despite the word’s broader, plural-feeling sense. Explore more English MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
