Dear Professor,
There is no subject-verb agreement in these sentences:
"It’s (singular) bad manners (plural) to talk with your mouth full." - (from Longman dictionary)
"İmagine there's (singular) no countries" (plural) - (from the song İmagine by The Beatles)
Thanks and kind regards

Re: Subject-verb agreement
Your assertion is half-correct.
There is subject-verb agreement in the first sentence (subject: it, verb: is), but not in the second.
