Default verb agreement in merge document

Word won't do it for you. You have to have some way to recognise whether
a word is singular or plural (in English, recognising it from the words
themselves would be tricky in the general case, so you probably need a
flag in your source data). Then you might be able to use IF fields to
insert one verb form or another as appropriate. However, if you are able
to be more specific about what is in your data and what kind of text you
need to construct, it might be easier to help.
