Is this sentence correct? If not, correct it.
Each one of the Councillors puts forwards the problems of their wards.
If you have a request for help, it would be nice if you said "Please" and didn't order us to "Correct it."
Now, I understand nothing. How come someone is a native and says 'put' is right here? The more I read this forum the less I think I knowAs a native I would more likely say:
Each one of the councillors put forward the problems of their wards.
But if 'wards' is referring to a hospital ward, I would be inclined to say:
Each one of the councillors put forward the problems on their wards.
***NOT A TEACHER***mmasny, (1) Perhaps the confusion lies in the tense. If the sentence is talking about the past, then every native speaker would say use "put" (because "put" is the past of "put." (2) But if the sentence is talking about something that the councillors do every day, then most books would suggest that you use "puts" because it agrees with "each one." On the other hand, some native speakers (especially in fast conversation) will say "put" because the word "councillors" makes a bigger impression on their minds than did th first words ("each one"). I'm pretty sure that most teachers would advise you to follow the rule: "each one" = singular = "puts." Thank you.Now, I understand nothing. How come someone is a native and says 'put' is right here?
