Each and Every

1 min de lecture
Partager :

“Each” and “Every” seem super similar, but they aren't exactly the same! Knowing when to use one or the other will make your English sound more natural and precise.

Each

Each focuses on things one by one, individually. It looks at items separately, even if they’re in a group.

  • Each student got a different topic to present.
  • He shook hands with each person in the room. 🤝
  • I read each email carefully before replying.

Use each when you’re thinking about items as individuals, not as a whole.

Every

Every focuses on the group as a whole, but still means all the individual parts are included.

  • Every Monday, I go to the gym.
  • She answered every question on the test.
  • Every child needs attention and care.

Use every when you're talking about all parts of a group together — especially with time, repetition, or rules.

💡 Astuce

Each = one by one
Every = all together
