3rd person singular and plural verb



My newest conlang for which I addressed my earlier questions about estar and
ser is called Mandero. I am developing it by comparison, a method I have not
used before. I am comparing 3 languages, Spanish, Portuguese and Galician to
develop something new. Mandero is spoken on the ficticious island of Mandero
northwest of Spain. My plan is to see the 3rd person plural verb form decay
from ending in -n/m such that the n/m is dropped thus making the 3rd
singular and 3rd plural the same form. Would this necessarily force the need
for a pronoun to used at all times with the 3rd person to distinguish
singular and plural? Would such a change then force the requirement of a
pronoun with all forms?

Thanks
