[求助]each的用法

我知道在以下用法中动词用单数:Each boy has to take one.   Each of the boys has to take one.


那请问 Companies O and P each have the same number of employees。。。这句话正确不呢?each用在后面的时候,动词该用单数还是复数呢?


谢谢。

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.
