Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Each of the students have completed their assignments. (2023)
Step 1: Identify the subject of the sentence. The subject is 'Each of the students'.
Step 2: Understand that 'Each' refers to one individual from a group, making it singular.
Step 3: Remember that singular subjects require singular verbs. The correct singular verb for 'Each' is 'has'.
Step 4: Replace 'have' with 'has' in the sentence.
Step 5: The corrected sentence is 'Each of the students has completed their assignments.'
Subject-Verb Agreement – Understanding that 'each' is a singular subject and requires a singular verb form.
Pronoun Agreement – Recognizing that 'their' can be used as a singular pronoun in modern English, but the verb must still agree with the singular subject.
