Practice Each / Every

 

Use of Each and Every

The words "each" and "every" are both used to refer to individual items within a group, but they are used in different contexts and have slightly different meanings:

Each

• Meaning: "Each" refers to individual items within a group, emphasizing them one by one. It suggests a sense of separateness or individuality.
• Usage: It is used when considering the individual elements of a group separately, often focusing on the distinctness of the items.
• Examples:
• Each student must submit their homework by Friday. (Each student is considered individually.)
• I gave a gift to each child at the party. (Each child received a separate gift.)

Every

• Meaning: "Every" refers to all items within a group, but it is used to emphasize the collectiveness or totality of the group. It can imply that something applies to all members without exception.
• Usage: It is used when referring to all items in a group considered as a whole, often implying inclusivity and regularity.
• Examples:
• Every student must submit their homework by Friday. (All students must do this, without exception.)
• She goes to the gym every morning. (The action is performed regularly as part of her routine.)

Key Differences:

• "Each" focuses on individuality (considering one item at a time).
• "Every" emphasizes universality (considering the group as a whole but referring to all items within it).

Note: "Each" can be used for two or more items, while "every" is typically used for more than two items, and it suggests a more inclusive approach to the group.
