Choose the correct verb: “Each of the students ___ a library card.”

Learn the reasoning, not just the answer.

A little clarity goes a long way.

  • A (have):
    The nearby plural noun “students” does not control the verb; the subject “Each” is singular.
  • B (are having):
    “Are” is plural and does not agree with the singular subject “Each”; possession also normally uses a simple tense.
  • C (has):
    “Each” takes a singular verb, so “Each of the students has a library card” is correct.
  • D (were having):
    “Were” is plural and cannot agree with “Each” in this ordinary affirmative sentence.
KEY TAKEAWAY
In “each of + plural noun”, the head subject remains singular.
