Answer:

Singular verb

Step-by-step explanation:

someone,somebody, something are all singular. They take singular verbs. HOWEVER, when we have a pronoun referring to someone or somebody and we don't know if that person is male or female, we often (usually) use the pronoun they with a singular meaning.
