AnonymousWhich is correct?

Every one of these tribes has experienced...

or

Every one All of these tribes have experienced...

Can someone tell me which one is proper grammar and why?

The verb agrees with the main subject, "Every one," not with "tribes."

it should be "Has experienced" because" each" and "every" generally gets singular look at these sentences you'll understand.
-Each person above 18 has a right to vote.
-Every person above 18 has a right to vote.
When you use "every or each " with "of " u need to use plural nouns.
-Each of the students is clever.
-Every one of the students is clever.
But there is an exception
The students each are clever.
-When the object is before each you use plural.

windyjoltit should be "Has experienced" because" each" and "every" generally gets singular look at these sentences you'll understand.

This is correct.
-Each person above 18 has a right to vote. --- fine
-Every person above 18 has a right to vote. ---fine
When you use "every or each " with "of " u need to use plural nouns. "You", not "u".
-Each of the students is clever.
-Every one of the students is clever.
But there is an exception
The students each are clever. no, this is incorrect
Each student - Each is an adjective to "student" which is the subject. Each student from this school is taught by the most qualified English teacher.

-When the object is before each you use plural. Was there an object that I missed? [:^)]
