Each or Every?
Elena Geiko: Determiners: Each, Every Each and every have similar but not always identical meanings. Each = every one separately Every = each, all Sometimes, each and every have the same meaning: * Prices go up each year. * Prices go up every year. But often they are not exactly the same. Each expresses the idea of 'one by one'. It emphasizes individuality. Every is half-way between each and all. It sees things or people as singular, but in a group or in general. Consider the following: * Every artist is sensitive. * Each artist sees things differently. * Every soldier saluted as the President arrived. * The President gave each soldier a medal. Each can be used in front of the verb: * The soldiers each received a medal. Each can be followed by 'of': * The President spoke to each of the soldiers. * He gave a medal to each of them. Every cannot be used for 2 things. For 2 things, each can be used: * He was carrying a suitcase in each hand. Every is used to say how often something happens: * There is a plane to Bangkok every day. * The bus leaves every hour. Verbs with each and every are always conjugated in the singular.
