Listen to a few examples which uses this letter.

I found this sentence while I was reading, I wondered why the third person singular verb was used here and thought it was a wrong spelling.

Then I googled "examples which..." and I found some more instances like:

Tell any three examples which shows UX design is future need?
Topology examples which fits to the ZV4002 restrictions

    All are simply wrong. 'Tell any three' is also a good indicator the writer wasn't native English.

    Be careful when searching for examples online. Just because it's written in English doesn't mean it was written by a competent, fluent, or native English speaker. Try to take examples from reputable sources, like well-known newspapers, books, and dictionaries.

    However, there are cases when the word examples may be followed by a singular verb, such as: They selected only positive examples which shows that they were prejudiced..However, it's the selection rather than the examples themselves that takes the singular verb.

  • @Ronald Sole It's a little tricky for me to understand. The selection as a whole idea is kind of hard to recognize. Since which is immediately after examlpes, it's confusing.

    @preachers If you break the sentence into two, it's easier to understand: They selected only positive examples. This shows that they were prejudiced. It's clear that this refers to the selection of positive examples. The same is true if you link the two sentences with which. It's like saying:**She is kind to dogs which shows that she is a good person**.

Ronald Sole brings up a valid case, where there can be an implied singular subject that validates the conjugation. It is possible to imagine the words missing from your example sentences:

Listen to a few examples (from a passage) which uses this letter.

Tell (us) any three examples (any one of) which shows UX design is (a) future need?

Topology examples (of a specification) which fits to the ZV4002 restrictions

Still, as written all three are awkward and not idiomatic. There is no reason to assume a secondary subject. It's more likely these are either grammatical mistakes, or they were written by non-native speakers.

In each, the singular conjugation makes more sense:

Listen to a few examples which use this letter.

Tell (us) any three examples which show UX design is (a) future need?

Topology examples which fit the ZV4002 restrictions.
