Is this sentence grammatically correct? Yes all over the world every person that want to say I'm a English learner for elementary should know the words of 504 books How can we use the noun 'every person' with the plural verb 'want' not singular 'wants' I think its grammatically incorrect

Here, "every person" means more than one person because "every" is generally used to refer to more than one thing (e.g. "Hello, everyone"), so you'd use the plural form, "wants".

Every person is singular, just like he or she. It means each of them in the group that you are referring to. Every person wants.. You are correct.
