Has or have
I had a teste last week, and there was this question: C) (Their family/ go/ to Italy), so I wrote "Their family has gone to Italy" and my teacher said it was totally wrong because if their family was exchanged by a pronoun, it would be they, thus, indicating the use of have. I had another test and I had the same problem, but with my family instead of their family, but again she said it was wrong, because if my family was exchanged by a pronoun, it would be it. I think she's totally wrong, because in both cases above, both have or has would be acceptable. Could someone confirm it to me?
