What about if the sentence is

Which one is it?
Answered by drwls
There were many typing errors in the last part of my previous answer.

A part of am imperative command to a group of people, such as "Everyone realize that your homework will count one-third towards your grade" , the first form is correct.

You are probably only interested in the present indicative tense, so stick with "Everyone realizes.."
Answered by drwls
Treat "everyone" as a singular subject. Your second sentence example should read:

"I hope everyone realizes his contributions"
Answered by Writeacher
Drwls is correct. The verb is "realizes" because the subject is singular -- "every<b>one</b>" -- they have to agree or match.

Answered by quinn
I hope everyone realizes his contributions... or is it "recognizes" a better word for it?
Answered by drwls
Either is OK, although the meanings are different. The important thing is to conjugate the verb correctly, for the singular subject. That means putting an "s" at the end of the verb.
Answered by quinn
what about...

I want everyone to realize....

this is without "s" right?
Answered by drwls
Yes, but "to realize" is the unconjugated infinitive form of the verb in that case. The subject of the sentence is I, and the conjugated verb is "want". "Everyone to realize" is what is wanted.
