1.
Yes, the / is usually read "or" but it would be better simply to use "his or her" in the first place. Using the / is just lazy!
2.
Yes, this is one way to do so, but technically it seems to assume that no girls have books! Better phrasing to avoid the whole "his or her" issue is to write the sentence like this: All students have their own books.
3. Each of the answers is worth 4 points.
4. This is not written well.
6, 7, and 10 are correct, although 10 might set the writer up for grammar problems in the next few sentences!
1. Each student has his / her own book.
(How do you read "/"? Is it 'or'?)
2. Each student has his own book.
(Do we normally say like this?)
3. Each of the answer is worth 4 points.
4. Each of the answer is 4 points.
(Are both grammatical?)
5. Each of children has a bed.
6. Each of the children has a bed.
7. Each child has a bed.
8. Children each have a bed.
9. Children each has a bed.
10. They each have a bed.
11. They each has a bed.
(Which ones are grammatical among the seven sentences? Thank you for your help. Have a great weekend.)
