some

Hello,

1. Some boy or the other have eaten my lunch.

I have to correct it.

a) Some boys or the others have eaten my lunch.

b) Some boys or the other has eaten my lunch.

Which one is correct?

Could any body explain why (1) is not correct?

Thanks.

1. Some boy or the other have eaten my lunch. - This is not correct as we don't need the definite article before other, and the verb should be in the 3rd person.
