Either of these two persons has stolen my purse.
- The blank will be filled by using has because the sentence is in the singular form.
- The word either, which is singular in a grammatical sense, refers to one. It indicates that one of two persons is responsible for stealing the purse.
- The sentence mentions two persons but refers only to one and so has will be used.
- Have is used in a plural context.
