I AM NOT SURE ALSO BUT IN MY OWN TYPE , I WILL USE “IS” ... IF I CONCENTRATE ON “EACH” , BUT I WILL USE “ARE” IF I CONCENTRATE ON YOU . MAY BE WE NEED TO USE SOME WORD LIKE “ALL” AS PRESUMPTION TO “ARE” .


THIS IS WHAT WE DO IT IN ARABIC IN SUCH AS THIS SITUATION .


WE NEED TO ENGLISH TEACHER HERE TO GET THE CORRECT ANSWER :-).


WHERE ARE YOU TEACHERS :?!

Each of you is responsible for the accident.


Or: Each one of you is responsible for the accident. (sounds more natural)


Also: Everyone is
