What to use after everyone has or have?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

After everyone, the correct verb to use is “has.” This is because everyone is a singular pronoun, referring to each individual person in a group. Therefore, the verb that follows should agree with this singular form. For example:

– Everyone has their own opinions.
– Everyone has a role to play in the project.
– Everyone has the right to be heard.

It is important to note that “everyone” is always followed by a singular verb, regardless of the noun or pronoun that comes after it. For instance:

– Everyone in the room has their own reasons for attending.
– Everyone on the team has his or her own strengths.

When using the pronoun “everyone,” always remember to use the singular verb “has” to maintain subject-verb agreement.
