Can pronouns replace a singular noun?
Yes, pronouns can replace a singular noun in a sentence to avoid repetition and make the sentence flow more smoothly. For example, instead of saying "Mary went to the store. Mary bought some apples," you can say "Mary went to the store. She bought some apples."
How do you use some as a singular subject?

Examples of words that do not change from singular to plural are:aircraftdeerelkfishmooseoffspringsalmonspacecrafttroutyouyouryoursThere are a number of nouns that are included in lists of nouns with the same singular and plural form. However, most of those are uncountable nouns, words that have no singular or have no plural form (such as luggage or barracks),; or mass nouns that are words for substances or aggregate nouns (such as oxygen or luggage). Some lists include binary nouns, words for things made up of two parts that make up the whole (such as pants or scissors). These are not true singular and plural forms. Note: The noun 'fish' is a singular, uncountable noun as a word for a food substance. The plural form of the noun fish as a word for individual creatures is fish or fishes, both are correct plural forms.
