1 Sometimes, each and every have the same meaning, but often they aren’t exactly the same.
▪Use each to emphasize individuality. Each expresses the idea of “one by one.” Each can be followed by of. However, when possible omit the of to make your text more concise.
▪Every refers to things or people in a group or in general. You can often replace every with all. Every is also always used to say how often something happens.
▪When talking about two things, you must always use each or each of. 2 When used as a subject, each and every are always singular. The use of each or every clearly indicates you’re considering individuals.
