The indefinite pronouns //anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody// are always singular and, therefore, require singular verbs. When two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by or or nor, use a singular verb.When a compound subject contains both a singular and a plural noun or pronoun joined by or or nor, the verb should agree with the part of the subject that is nearer the verb. for explane: The boy or his friends run every day

His friends or the boy runs every day. Doesn't is a contraction of does not and should be used only with a singular subject. Don't is a contraction of do not and should be used only with a plural subject. The exception to this rule appears in the case of the first person and second person pronouns I and you. With these pronouns, the contraction don't should be used.
