Have either.

Refer to #4 in my source.

The correct version is "Have either of you done this before?" Take away the "either" portion and split the sentence up, and you will see that if you were to ask each person singularly, the correct way is with "have," rather than "has," as in, "Has you done this before?" or "Have you done this before?" Hope this helped you!! Blessed be!

The correct usage is "have," not because the subject is singular, but because the subject is second person. You would use "have" if you were asking "Have you both done this before?" or "Have you (singular) done this before?" You would use "has" if the subject were third person, as in "Has either of THEM done this before?"

Have, because the subject is second person, NOT because it's singular.

Either of you " is a singular subject.So it will take a singular verb "has",Similar examples of using of singulr verbs are "Neither Sam nor Harry" or Each of the boys plays football" 'none of the girls does their homework regularly" etc.

The second one. Either is singular.

Have. Whenever you find it hard to decide between have and has, remove the words in between have (or has) and the subject (you), and see if it makes sense. "Has....you done this before?" doesn't make sense. So you would say "have."

"Has" is right. The simple subject is "either".
