Question问：

On May 4th 2020 "Ask the Editor" notes to use "has" with third person singular, and "have" for the rest. Does that mean that "everybody" is regarded as third person singular, or is it the exception when using "has"?

2020年5月4日《Ask the Editor》提示第三人称单数时使用“has”，其它情况使用“have”。这是否意味着“everybody（每个人）”被视为第三人称单数，还是在使用“has”时是个例外?

Answer 答：

Everybody is third person singular.

everybody（每个人）是第三人称单数。

The words everybody and everyone are pronouns that describe a group of people, but grammatically they are singular. The last part of each word is a singular noun: body and one. Below are some example sentences:

单词everybody和everyone是指代一群人的代词，但在语法上它们是单数。每个单词的最后一部分都是单数名词:body和one。下面是一些例句:

Everybody is coming to the house after the show.

演出结束后每个人都要来房子里。

Everyone has a reason to smile.

每个人都有微笑的理由。

Everybody who works here does something different.

每个在这里工作的人都有不同的工作。

Everyone on the bus is wearing a coat.

公共汽车上的每个人都穿着外套。

Everybody runs along the trail.

每个人都沿着小路跑着。

Everyone likes ice cream.

每个人都喜欢吃冰淇淋。
