Overview
everyone is versus everyone are é um exemplo clássico disso. Em português, quando falamos todo mundo, temos uma tendência natural de pensar no grupo como um todo, ou seja, algo plural.everyone é classificada como um pronome indefinido singular. Isso significa que, independentemente de quantas pessoas existam no grupo, o verbo deve sempre concordar com a terceira pessoa do singular, como se estivéssemos falando de he (ele) ou she (ela).concordância ideológicaque às vezes fazemos em português, onde o sentido da frase dita a flexão do verbo. Em inglês, a estrutura gramatical é soberana. Se você disser
everyone are, um falante nativo perceberá imediatamente um erro de concordância, da mesma forma que nós notaríamos um erro grave se alguém dissesse nós vai em vez de nós vamos.everyone é um pronome composto (formado por every + one), o próprio nome já entrega a dica: ele se refere a cada um individualmente.each person (cada pessoa).pronome indefinido para palavras como alguém, ninguém ou todo mundo. No entanto, a nossa gramática permite que, em alguns casos, o verbo concorde com a ideia de coletividade. Já no inglês, a regra é fixa: everyone, everybody, someone, somebody, anyone, anybody, no one e nobody são todos tratados como terceira pessoa do singular.- Se você pode substituir por
heoushe, o verbo deve ser singular. Everyone is happy→He is happy(Correto).Everyone are happy→They are happy(Incorreto, poiseveryonenão éthey).
Simple Present, o verbo ganha o sufixo -s ou -es. Se usa o verbo to be, ele se torna is (no presente) ou was (no passado).it. Por exemplo, it is raining e everyone is arriving. A lógica é a mesma: o tratamento é singular, focando na unidade, não na multidão.traduzir o sentido de grupo e passa a seguir a estrutura da língua.Everyone + verbo no singular. Abaixo, apresento uma tabela comparativa entre a estrutura do português e a do inglês para que você visualize como a concordância se comporta.estar ou gostar se flexiona conforme a nossa percepção, no inglês o verbo permanece sempre na forma de singular, independentemente do contexto.everyone is sempre que se referir a um coletivo de indivíduos. Isso é extremamente comum no seu dia a dia, seja no trabalho ou em conversas informais.- 1Ambiente de Trabalho: Ao enviar um e-mail ou mensagem no Slack, você dirá:
Everyone is invited to the meeting(Todos estão convidados para a reunião). Usarareaqui soaria pouco profissional e gramaticalmente incorreto. - 2Situações Sociais: Se você está combinando um Uber com amigos para ir a uma festa, você pode dizer:
Is everyone ready?(Todos estão prontos?). Note que, mesmo que haja cinco pessoas, a pergunta foca na prontidão individual de cada um. - 3Opiniões Gerais: Quando você quer expressar um consenso, como:
Everyone agrees that the food is great(Todos concordam que a comida está ótima).
- 1A Armadilha do Sentido Plural: O erro mais frequente é usar
areporque, na nossa cabeça,todo mundoé muita gente. O cérebro brasileiro pensa:se são muitas pessoas, o verbo tem que ser plural
. Em inglês, esqueça a quantidade de pessoas e foque na palavraeveryone. - 2Confusão com o
DovsDoes: Muitos alunos perguntamDo everyone know?. Isso acontece porque, em português, não temos o auxiliardo/does. Nós apenas mudamos a entonação. Comoeveryoneé singular, você precisa usardoespara perguntas edoesn'tpara negativas. É como se você estivesse perguntandoDoes he know?. - 3O Erro de Proximidade: Quando dizemos
Everyone in the offices are busy, o nosso cérebro é atraído pela palavraoffices(plural). Isso é um erro clássico de proximidade. O sujeito da frase éeveryone, nãooffices. O correto éEveryone in the offices is busy.
is, likes) | Everyone is here. |are, like) | All the people are here. |The team pode ser singular ou plural dependendo do dialeto (American vs British English), mas everyone é estritamente singular sempre.everyone are se estiver falando de um grupo muito grande?Everyone é sempre singular, seja para duas pessoas ou para dez mil pessoas.their (pronome plural) depois de everyone? Está errado?everyone is... their.... Exemplo: Everyone is doing their best. Embora everyone peça um verbo singular, o uso do pronome their para se referir a ele é aceito para manter a neutralidade de gênero.everyone aceita um verbo plural?everyone are em músicas ou conversas extremamente informais, entenda como uma licença poética ou gíria, mas não utilize em contextos formais ou de aprendizado.everyone como um he ou she e você nunca mais vai errar essa concordância.

Using 'they' after 'everyone' is the standard way to be gender-neutral and inclusive in modern society.
People often use 'y'all' instead of 'everyone' in casual settings, which takes a plural verb.
In very formal contexts, you might still see 'everyone... his', but it is increasingly rare and considered old-fashioned.
The word 'everyone' comes from the Old English 'æghwylc' (each) and 'ān' (one).

Perguntas frequentes (8)
Grammatically, English treats it as a single collective unit or 'every single one' person. It's just a rule of the language!
You might hear it, but it's considered a mistake. It's better to stick to `everyone is` to sound correct.
This is correct! We use a singular verb for the main sentence but a plural pronoun/verb for the tag question.
Both are correct. `Everyone's` is the contracted form of `everyone is` or `everyone has`.
Use `their`. It is gender-neutral and the standard in modern English.
No, they are exactly the same in meaning and grammar. `Everyone` is slightly more common in writing.
It is still singular! `Every one of the students is...` is correct.
Yes! `No one is`, `No one has`, `No one likes`.
