This is the explanation about "each" from American Heritage dictionary.For reference! The traditional rule holds that when the subject of a sentence begins with each, it is grammatically singular, and the verb and following pronouns must be singular as well: Each of the suites has (not have) its (not their) own private entrance (not entrances). When each follows a plural subject, however, the verb and subsequent pronouns remain in the plural: The suites each have their own private entrances (not has its own private entrance). An exception is made when each follows the verb with a first-person plural subject: one may say either We boys have each our own roomor We boys have each his own room, though the latter form is somewhat stilted in modern use. · The expression each and every is likewise followed by a singular verb and singular pronoun in formal style: Each and every driver knows (not know) what his or her (not their) job is to be.
