Do you know that our body bears a lot of amazing facts? Well, some of those facts (is, are) mentioned here and may shake you.
In just one day, a human sheds 10 million skin flakes which accounts up to two kilograms a year. Every square inch of our body (has, have) 19,000,000 skin cells. The small intestine of our body measures two inches around and six meters long. Everybody (make, makes) anywhere one to three pints of saliva every 24 hours. All of the same average women (has, have) 17 square feet of skin and adds up to 18.5 sq. ft. during her ninth month of pregnancy. And you won’t believe it. Both human and a chimpanzee (has, have) as many hairs on the skin. You just don’t see them because most of our hairs (is, are) too fine and too light to be noticed.
How amazing is the chimpanzee!!! Oh, I mean human!!!
Click on the correct verb that agrees with its subject.

Do you know what are indefinite pronouns?
Indefinite pronouns are pronouns that refer to unnamed people or things. They refer to persons, places or things that are unspecified, unknown or unrevealed. Because indefinite pronouns do not refer to specific nouns, their antecedents are not given.
Example:
Someone knocked on the door of the cabin.
![Page 15: Indefinite pronouns](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b9c2f54a79597f318b4578/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Like any other parts of speech, indefinite pronouns must be also used following the Subject-Verb Agreement.

Click on the correct verb inside the parentheses on the paragraph.
Christmas is fast approaching. Everyone (is, are) very excited for the holiday. Maybe, many (is, are) excited of Christmas because they receive gifts.
