each

each
This pronoun is singular and implies one even when not followed by one. Plural words used in modifying phrases do not change the number: "Each has his own reasons." "Each of the girls has her own reasons." When each appears after a plural subject to which it refers, the verb should be plural: "Bill and Jack each have their own reasons."
