Why is this? A native speaker says "The fruit have bruises." Why "have" and not "has"?

The fruit have bruises, refers to more than one fruit that is bruised. The fruit has bruises, refers to one fruit that is bruised. The word, "fruit" can be either singular or plural, depending on context.

Hello Tyker! I would actually say: "The fruit has bruises." We use "has" when the noun is a collective noun (the word "fruit" is a collective noun) or when the noun is in it's singular form, and "have" when the noun is in its plural form (usually with an "s" on the end). Here are some examples: The egg has a funny odor. / The eggs have a funny funny odor. The crowd has moved away. / The crowds have moved away. The fruit has bruises. / The bananas have bruises. I hope that helps!
