Is the subject of the sentence singular or plural?

If the writer is using ‘they’ instead of he/she, what verb is to be used? It all sounds very clumsy to me.

“They” takes a plural verb even if it is a singular reference. It’s similar to how “you” always takes the plural form. “You is” is incorrect as is “they is.”
