"everybody is" or "everybody are"?

Question

"everybody is" or "everybody are" which one is right?

Answer 1

Break up the word "everybody," and think of it as "every body is"; "body" is a singular noun.



You could say the same thing in a slightly different way: "All bodies are"; "bodies" is a plural noun.

Answer 2

Everybody is. Everybody being a collective term, like "the public". You would say, "The public is interested in the ongoing debate on health care reform", not "the public are interested". Get it?

Answer 3

Everybody - points to individuals. It means Every"one" in a lot. Its singular. So "Eveybody is" is correct.

Answer 4

everybody is, you are talking about the group as a whole in this case.



George: Who is invited to the party.

Gary: Everybody is.

Gregory: Why does everyone in this conversation have a name beginning with G?

Georgina: Because we are cool like that.

Answer 5

Everyone is.

Everybody is socially acceptable, but still improper.

Answer 6

Think of it this way

every body- as in every single body or person



every body is



everybody is

Answer 7

Everybody is - it's actually singular, although it sounds plural. take it apart - every body. that means one, so you use the singular verb with it, Everybody is.
