Theben: @semhule, thanks, I just checked my dictionary and discovered that we are both right.

Scun: Prove it you prat! ''None'' can go with both singular and plural verbs depending on the context.

Scun: Now you agree with me, so what do we call Sagamite?

Scun: Don't try to be too intelligent next time.

Sagamite:

You are a person!

You are wrong. We are not both correct!

Are you still laughing? Who is embarrassing himself?

*Semuhle*Baby*:
When is it appropriate to use have and when is it appropriate to use has?

Use Has -. when only one of each thing, It, She,m He , A /An/One etc

Or If a colletive , for instance the family/the Police is seen upon as one then has (in America), but in Britain its have ..

(BUT it varies in British English and America English and ...)



When using the present tense (with 'to have' as the main verb), or the present perfect tense (with 'to have' as the auxiliary verb), 'has' is used only in the third person singular-- that is, when the subject is a single entity that is not you or I: he, she, it, John, the Eiffel Tower, etc.

I have a headache.
You have a headache.
She/ he/ it/ John/ the Eiffel Tower has a headache.
We have headaches
You all have headaches.
They have headaches.

I have never eaten locusts.
You have never eaten locusts.
She/he/it/John/the Eiffel Tower has never eaten locusts.
We have never eaten locusts.
You all have never eaten locusts.
They have never eaten locusts.

Theben:
You are a product of failed education system. I'm even trying to be diplomatic. In a formal writing, using a plural verb is not allowed. Stop embarrassing your school.

*Semuhle*Baby*:
I have a headache.
You have a headache.
She/ he/ it/ John/ the Eiffel Tower has a headache.
We have headaches
You all have headaches.
They have headaches.

*Semuhle*Baby*:
No sagamite is right. Read my bolded sentence. He is talking about himself not in third person

Sagamite:

To these Nigerian "graduates", it is:

We has headaches
You all has headaches.
They has headaches.

Afam4eva: This one wey i dey see person everywhere, has apartheid come back?

None of my posts has anything to do with sex.

Theben:
Afam, please take a look at this sentence and tell me if it's wrong

Sagamite:

To these Nigerian "graduates", it is:

We has headaches
You all has headaches.
They has headaches.

Theben:
Stop changing it. This is how you twist subjects when you are on the verge of losing an argument. You are a disgrace to your school, your family and your neighbourhood. And to think that you claim to be a graduate of one UK uni.

Sagamite:

To these Nigerian "graduates", it is:

We has headaches
You all has headaches.
They has headaches.

Scun: Good job trying to twist things.
Going by your useless logic, ''none of you has a headache'' is wrong. Right?

Sexily Endowed: It's Have. Have is right in the context of that particular sentence.

Afam4eva:
Their body no ugly at all oo. Their babes are also fresh looking.

Sagamite:



person, it is very "right"!

Product of a failed education system.

Most cretinous of cretins!

Sexily Endowed: It's Have. Have is right in the context of that particular sentence.

Theben:
I've always avoided engaging this guys in an argument cos I know it is totally impossible for him to concede defeat.

I don waste time dey argue with mad man. Choi, this mistake will never repeat itself. Oga saga, good night. Please avoid ogogoro when next you intend arguing with intellectuals.

Scun, please don't bother arguing with him. He's a nutcase. Educating him is like pouring water in a basket. Just read his posts and move on.

Theben:
Afam, please take a look at this sentence and tell me if it's wrong

Afam4eva:
it's actually wrong and it can be tricky. The plural in "posts" already negates the "has". When it's plural, you use "have" instead of "has" and when it's singular, you can use "has".

Theben:
Even you? Please, check your dictionary and type everything you see under 'none' here. Don't alter anything abeg.

Afam4eva:
You mean the word 'none'?
