Question

Each person, regardless of age or backgrounds, have the right to krump. How should the sentence above be rewritten to correct the subject-verb agreement error? The sentence is correct as written Each person, regardless of age or background, do have the right to krump. Each person, regardless of age or backgrounds, have the right to krump. Each person, regardless of age or background, has the right to krump.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "Each person, regardless of age or backgrounds, has the right to krump." 'Has' is a third person singular form of the verb 'have.' This means that it will be used in a sentence where the subject is another person (not yourself.) In this case, the subject is "person," which is singular and not yourself. What if the subject of this sentence was "people" instead of person? We would use "have" because the subject is now plural!
