1. Every student, because 'every' actually means 'Every single'
2. cloud for one, clouds for more than one
3. Its, but this is debatable. Small words in titles do not need to be capitalized eg unless they appear first, you would not need to use capitals for the, a , and, etc. So, should 'ts' be regarded as a small word or an important one.
4. those like me who are. Think of it like this, ' those who (like me) are...'
5. All seem (All is plural)
6. Both are correct. It depends whether the speaker considers that people can have only one, or more than one idea on the matter under discussion.
7. Everyone has their own.... Words like 'everyone' take a singular verb, but a plural pronoun. Another example is,
'If anybody calls, tell them I will be back soon.'

Although I'm greek I will check my english knowledge.Here I come!!!
1.Every student
2.Both are correct.The first is in singular form,the second is in plural.
3.I can't see any difference except on the way u write i in its.So if you are asking this,it's "its"."I" is used at the beginning of a new clause.
4.People tend to have problems with those like me who are..(the personal pronoun here is "those" and it's in plural.So the following verb will be in plural too.)
5.All seem to believe.(the same as the above.All=plural,seem=plural form)
6 and 7 could be my questions too.Especially 7,so I'm also looking for an answer.
I hope I've helped.
P.S.Palamino I've heard again of wht you've answered at 7 but also heard the aspect of "Everyone has his or her own idea" is also correct.

1- every student - it is treated as singular
2- you can use either, depending on the context. the concept of countable/uncountable nouns has been undergoing changes lately, due to the fact that languages are live and change.
3- its, rather than Its sounds more correct to me.
4- "those like me who are.." those= plural
5- "all seem", all = plural
6 and 7- everyone is treated as singular. Therefore, "everyone has his or her own idea"

"Morphologically?" He could recommend the style that the verb takes. enable's look at an occasion sentence: have been I a duck, i might fly out right here rapid. have been right here could be comparable to contemporary or previous stressful style. i can purely think of of "have been you a duck? " it relatively is previous stressful. or maybe he isn't talking approximately this in any respect. or maybe he potential which you style all different tenses utilising components of the present and previous tenses. So in certainty i might say that morphologically is the respond on your question. i've got faith which you wished to understand a particular morphologically which incorporate the style of changes. yet that's no longer what you asked in any respect. you in basic terms decide for the style of changes. Or do you choose for the names of all the tenses and examples of each and every -- somebody has given you that. i'm thinking there could others which you haven't any longer heard of yet. i can think of of pluperfect.
