    • Usage notes

    * The phrase beginning with (each) identifies a set of items wherein the words following (each) identify the individual elements by their shared characteristics. The phrase is grammatically singular in number, so if the phrase is the subject of a sentence, its verb is conjugated into a third-person singular form. Similarly, any pronouns that refer to the noun phrase are singular: *: Each''' candidate '''has 49 votes. *: Each''' voter must decide for '''herself .
