Each and Every when used as Pronouns they are always singular .max37274 wrote:Every thirty-two pupils now have one computer
or
Every thirty-two pupils now has one computer
In the above cases Every is used as Pronoun and subject of the sentence and will take singular verb .
Ex : Each dog HAS paws .
Every dog and cat HAS paws . (compound subject)
Each of the shirts IS red .
So when a sentence is preceded by Each / Every the verb needs to be singular.
Hence Every thirty-two pupils now has one computer is correct.
