Which one of these ? is gramattically incorrect?


1. The train is usually on time, but it was late three times this week.

2. Each of the new project leaders are in charge of developing one new product design.

3. What were the landscapers thinking when they planted a tree next to power lines?

4. Trevor had done five somersaults in a row before becoming dizzy.

Number 2.

Each always always always takes a singular verb. What they do is they but plural nouns after to confuse you. "of the new project leaders" is a prepositional phrase. Thus, it is not your subject the verb should be agreeing with. So let's look at the sentence without it: Each are in charge of developing one new product design.

It should be "each is"

What you have to remember is that they are trying to trick you by putting "leaders" next to "are" so that it sounds like the sentence is right. But if you see "each" then you need a singular verb. Period.

Number two is grammatically incorrect. It should read "Each of the new project leaders is in charge of developing one new product design", substituting 'is' for 'are'. This is because the word 'each' is singular, meaning that 'is' is the correct form of the verb to use, confusing as it may be.

2 for sure. Uses plural verb for singular "each."

It should be: Each of the new project leaders is in charge of developing one new project design.

Number 2 is incorrect. Each is singular so it should read... Each of the new project leaders is in charge of developing one new product design.
