Would anybody possibly elaborate the differences between these?
Or, when/where- in which situations- would you rather use the followings?
Each student
Every student
Answer
I just want to point out few differences between "each and every".
It's only "each" that is used as a pronoun, not "every".
Examples -
- They don't cost $10 together, rather each costs $10 (here we can't use "every)
- They don't cost $10 together, rather every/each one of them consts $10.
With abstract nouns, only "every" is used, not "each"
Examples -
- He has every reason to worry about his friend. (we can't use "each" here)
"Every" is used to say how often something happens.
Examples -
- You will find a bus to London from here every two hours.
We use "Every" to mean "all in a group", and "each" to mean "one by one, individually"
Examples - Study the example sentences carefully
- After all the children assembled in the playground, the principal handed each child a beautiful present. (He handed them out one by one.)
- After all the children assembled in the playground, the principle handed every child a beautiful present. (He gave them all)
I can't think of any other differences. So I ask other people also to add here.
Thanking you.
