Question

Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error: 
Each of the boys have submitted their assignment on time.

• A. have
• B. their
• C. on time
• D. No error

Hint:

• The word "Each" is always singular and therefore takes a singular verb.
• Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, especially with indefinite pronouns like "each," "every," "anyone."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The sentence for analysis is: "Each of the boys have submitted their assignment on time." To pinpoint the grammatical error, let's examine the sentence construction:

• Subject: "Each of the boys" - This is the sentence's subject. "Each" is singular here, referring to individual boys.
• Predicate: "have submitted their assignment on time." The verb "have" is the source of the error.

Reasoning: As "Each" is singular, the verb must also be singular for correct subject-verb agreement. Consequently, the verb should be "has" not "have."

Corrected sentence: "Each of the boys has submitted their assignment on time."
