each, every and all

Each 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. Each (but not every) can be used for two things: • In a football match, each team has 11 players, ( not 'every team') Every 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) 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') 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 look 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: Each vs Every

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. Compare the structures we use with EACH and EVERY 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.
