ENGLISH GRAMMAR IN USE FOR INTERMEDIATE
UNIT 91. 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 look different.
|
|
|
√
|
There are computers in each classroom (or every classroom) in the school.
|
But each and every
are not exactly the same. Study the difference:
|
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.
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
√
|
Kate loves reading. She has
read every book in the
library. (=all the books)
|
|
|
√
|
I'd like to visit every country in the world.
(=all the countries)
|
|
|
Each (but not every) can be used for two
things:
|
|
|
√
|
In football, each team has eleven
players. (not every team)
|
|
We use every (not each)
to say how often something happens:
|
|
|
√
|
'How often do you use your
car?, '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:
|
You can use each with a noun:
|
You can use each alone (without a
noun):
|
|
|
√
|
None of the rooms was the
same.
Each(= each
room) was different.
|
|
Or you can use each one:
|
|
|
√
|
Each
one
was different.
|
|
You can say each of (the ... /these ... /them etc.):
|
|
|
√
|
Read each of these sentences carefully
|
|
|
√
|
Each
of the
books is a different colour.
|
|
|
√
|
Each
of them
is a different colour.
|
|
You can use every with a noun:
|
You can't use every alone, but you can
say
every
one:
|
|
|
√
|
A: Have you read all these
books?
B: Yes, every one.
|
|
You can say every one of ... (but
not 'every of):
|
|
|
√
|

(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:
|
|
|
√
|

student was given a book.)
|
|
|
√

|
|
|
D

one

|

|
√
