Each / Every

Usage intermediate medium

Each singles out; every groups all together.

Usage — Common choices, confusions and preposition errors.

Rules

1. each + singular noun, focuses on individuals: Each student has a laptop. 2. every + singular noun, focuses on the group as a whole: Every student must attend. 3. Each can be used alone or with "of": each of the students (not "every of"). 4. Every can combine with time words: every day, every week. 5. Both take singular verbs and singular pronouns. 6. "everyone/everybody" takes singular verb: Everyone is here (not "are").

Explanation

"Each of the boys has a bag" — after "each of", the verb is still singular. "Everyone... they" is common in speech but "everyone... his/her" is formal.

हिंदी में

Each हर एक पर अलग ध्यान देता है; every पूरे समूह पर। दोनों के साथ एकवचन क्रिया आती है।

Examples

Each student must submit the assignment. — हर छात्र को असाइनमेंट जमा करना होगा।
Every child needs love. — हर बच्चे को प्यार चाहिए।

{"mistake":"Every of the students passed.","correction":"Each of the students passed.","note":"\"every\" cannot be followed by \"of\"."}
