| Can you give us an example , sir. | |

| Ok . Take this sentence for example : Some of the sugar was scattered to the floor. Sugar is non-countable so it uses a singular verb but if we replaced sugar with paper it uses plural verb. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Another problem is when we use "none" in a sentence. It can be regarded as a singular or plural pronoun. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| then does that mean it can use both singular or plural verbs ? | |
