Whenever you see the words 'Each' or 'Every' in a Sentence Correction question, immediately check the sentence for subject-verb agreement since students at times tend to get confused on such questions.
Consider this example:
Each of the students in my class and in other classes have got a free laptop.
Does the sentence sound correct? I sure hope not because the subject is the singular 'each student' and not the plural 'all students', so the verb also has to be the singular 'has' and not the plural 'have'.
To Sum it Up
- Whenever you see 'Each' or 'Everyone' in a sentence check for Subject-verb agreement
- The verb/pronoun used in such sentences will always be singular
