Correct the following sentences.
Each of these houses are strong
Answers
Answer:“Each” requires singular agreement with the verb, so “has” is correct (and “have” is not).
However, there is another mistake in the sentences, and that is that “house” needs to be plural, not singular. Thus, the correct sentence would be “Each of the houses has a new look.”
Interestingly, the sentence means basically the same as “All of the houses have a new look.” “All,” however, requires plural agreement, i.e. “have.” In fact, there is a slight difference in meaning (or you might say in emphasis). Is the speaker trying to emphasize the houses as a combined group? If so, “all” is the better choice. This sentence can also mean that all of the houses have the SAME new look.
In contrast, by using “each,” the speaker is emphasizing the individuality of the houses (that is, each one). In other words, it might be that each house has a new look but not the same new look as all the others.
