<!-- (Audio) Bob: I just wanted to make sure everyone has enough choices. -->

--description--

When using words like everybody or everyone, which mean all the people in a group, we treat them as if they are one person. This is why we use 3rd person singular verbs with them. For example, you say, Everybody IS here (instead of are) or Everyone LIKES ice cream (instead of like). Even though these words refer to many people, the verb form used is the same as for one person, like he or she.

Listen to Bob and fill in the blank.

--feedback--

The verb have, but remember that you should use the 3rd person singular form with everyone.
