Kindly correct me

Hello Everybody,

I required some help regarding the use of HAS & HAVE in a special case, i.e.,

Everyone in the class ____ a book.
Each student of the class _____ a book.

what should be the appropriate HAS & HAVE in above cases. kindly mention the rule also.

regards,
UMAIR HAMMAD

subject verb agreement

Everyone is an indefinite pronoun (so are someone, no one, nobody) is singular and must be used with a singular verb: has or is

Each is also always singular and takes a singular verb: has or is

HI Chris

Hi. I stumbled into your site just last week. I think you've done an excellent job helping people reach out to others and learn to improve their English skills. I offered to help others out with their conversational english through skype, but unfortunately I still do not have any feedback. MOre power to english.

P.S. do you happen to have any plans of putting up a live chatbox in the website? I think that would be awesome.

Kudos

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. A chatbox is definitely something we're considering. It's just a matter of finding the time and right way to manage it.

Thanks,

Chris
