‘Everybody do their best‘ or ‘Everybody does their best‘: Which one of the sentences is correct? The correct form depends on the subject of the sentence. “Everybody” is a singular indefinite pronoun, so the proper verb form to use with “everybody” is “does.”
For example:
- Everybody does their best. (Correct)
- Everybody do their best. (Wrong)
- Everybody does what they can. (Correct)
- Everybody do what they can. (Wrong)
- Everybody does their part in making the event a success. (Correct)
- Everybody do their part in making the event a success. (Wrong)
Note: Using “does” with “everybody” maintains subject-verb agreement, as “everybody” is treated as a singular entity in this context.
