UNIT 90 Each and every
A. Each and every are similar in meaning. Often it is possible to use each or every: * Each time (or Every time) I see you, you took different. * There's a telephone in each room (or every room) of the house. But each and every are not exactly the same. Study the difference: #1 We use each when we think of things separately, one by one. * Study each sentence carefully. (= study the sentences one by one) Each is more usual for a small number: * There were four books on the table. Each book was a different colour. * (in a card game) At the beginning of the game, each player has three cards. #2 We use every when we think of things as a group. The meaning is similar to all. * Every sentence must have a verb. (= all sentences in general) Every is more usual for a large number: * Carol loves reading. She has read every book in the library. (=all the books) * I would like to visit every country in the world. (=all the countries) Each (but not every) can be used for two things: * In a football match, each team has 11 players. (not 'every team') We use every (not each) to say how often something happens: * 'How often do you go shopping?' 'Every day.' (not 'each day') * There's a bus every ten minutes. (not 'each ten minutes') B. Compare the structures we use with each and every: #1 You can use each with a noun: each book, each student You can use each alone (without a noun): * None of the rooms was the same. Each was different. (= each room) Or you can use each one: * Each one was different. You can say each of (the.../these... etc.): * Read each of these sentences carefully. * Each of the books is a different colour. Also each of us/you/them: * Each of them is a different colour. #2 You can use every with a noun: every book, every student, You can say every one (but not every alone): * 'Have you read all these books?' 'Yes, every one.' You can say every one of ... (but not 'every of ...') * I've read every one of those books. (not 'every of those books') * I've read every one of them. C. You can also use each in the middle or at the end of a sentence. For example: * The students were each given a book. (=Each student was given a book.) * These oranges cost 25 pence each. D. Everyone and every one Everyone (one word) is only for people (='everybody'). Every one (two words) is for things or people, and is similar to each one (see Section B): * Everyone enjoyed the party. (=Everybody...) * He is invited to lots of parties and he goes to every one. (=to every party) @p181
