Learn English – “in each side” or “in each sides”

singular-vs-plural

If I want to say that there are two people and each one of them is found in other side of the house. What is the correct way to say it?

1) There are two people in each side of the house

2) There are two people in each sides of the house

And by the way (in the same topic), are the two following sentences equal to the previous two – in the aspect of the meaning?

1) There is one person in each side of the house.

2) There is one person in each sides of the house.

Best Answer

Two people on each side means two people on this side and two people on that side—four people in all (if there are two sides).

What you mean is one person on each side, one on this side and one on that.

If you have not already explained that two sides are involved, you need to say so explicitly:

There is one person on each of the two sides. OR There are two people, one on each of the two sides.
