Anonymoushas is singular while have is plural

How about "'Has' is 3rd person singular."

I have... is 1st person singular.

You have... is 2nd person singular (if you accept that you can be both singular and plural).

My dear Anonymous,

Subject - verb agreement is a must in English grammar. So, find out which the subject is, then you'll know which verb form to use:

a) The subject here is: bank details. This is third-person plural (They). We use "HAVE".
b) For "crate" is the subject (third-person singular), we have to use "HAS".

Hope this helps you a lot.

I just came across here and writing something. What about this sentence?

Every dream has different story, I just don't remember exactly the whole story.

Is it correct? I'm referring here several dreams, so should I use "have" instead of "has"? I'm just not confident using "have" because it happened in the past.

Thanks!
