Well hey there I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!

I'm here to answer each

and every one of your questions today

so stay tuned!

So which one is it then? Each or every?

It's pretty easy to confuse these two words.

They look similar, they sound similar

but they're not always used in the same way.

So in this lesson, we'll go over the subtle

and important differences between these two words.

We'll talk about the different situations

where you would use one or the other

and of course, we'll practise a little bit together

later in the lesson.

You know that I love to make my lessons for you

very practical so we'll get to that later on.

Before we get started, a little reminder to

turn on the subtitles if you need to

just down there.

I write subtitles for every lesson on the

mmmEnglish Channel so you can turn them on

at any time.

And some of my amazing students here help me to

translate these lessons into their own native language

so that more people can share and learn from them

as well.

So if you're up for the challenge to add

subtitles in your native language, there's a link

in the description that will help you to do that.

Your name's going to get shown in the description too

as a thank you.

'Each' and 'every' can both be used with singular nouns.

All of these nouns are singular, right?

It's just one person or one thing.

So the words 'each' and 'every' can be used

with singular nouns that are part of a group

but there is a subtle difference.

When we use 'each', it emphasises or it puts more

attention on the individual.

The one person or the one thing.

More than one person came to the dinner party.

In fact, there was a whole group of people

who came to the dinner party.

But each singular individual person bought a dish

or a plate of food to share, right?

So he bought a dish,

she bought dessert,

she bought a salad,

he bought some cheese and biscuits,

right? So everyone has brought something.

Now let's compare this to 'every'.

'Every' refers to a group of individual objects

or people as one group altogether, right?

The attention is on the group as a whole so

So a group of people came to the dinner party

and all of these people brought a dish

but by using 'every', I'm putting emphasis on

the group as a whole, right?

Everybody here bought a dish.

Now in many situations, just like my example

about the dinner party, 'each' and 'every'

can be used interchangeably with just a

small difference in meaning, right?

You could use either of them and the difference is

very subtle.

But let's look at a few more examples to help

make that clear.

So I'm putting all business owners together

in one group there and I'm making a generalisation

about the group - all business owners.

And I'm saying that as a group,

all of those business owners are clever.

So here I'm talking about the individual teachers

at our school, each one of them is creative.

Not all teachers in general,

not the group together, but each teacher

separately at the school is creative.

Before we move on, I want to point out something

really important, something you might have been

thinking about already.

But did you notice in my earlier examples that I wrote

'everyone' instead of 'every one'?

So if you want to talk about a group of people

as a whole, every person

it's correct to use 'every one' or 'every body', right?

Every person is every one or every body.

Now 'every one' written in two words,

it actually puts more attention on the individuals

in the group and so it becomes a synonym

closer to 'each', right?

Let's think of an example.

At school, did you have a teacher that you were kind of

scared of? Like imagine them saying:

Right? The emphasis is on the individual.

But if they said:

then the emphasis is on the group, right?

And it's a little less scary. It's a subtle difference

but it's quite powerful in meaning.

Notice as well that even though we're talking about

a group of people, 'everyone' and 'everybody'

use a singular verb form

because we're talking about the group

as a singular thing, right?

Not all of the individuals in it

but we're talking about the group, right?

A nice trick to check if you should be using 'everyone'

or 'every one' is to see if everybody works

in that sentence because then 'everyone' with one word

is also correct.

If everybody doesn't work in the sentence then

'every one' with two words

is the correct option, right? Let's look at an example.

Right we can say:

So let's do a quick recap before we move on.

We use 'each' and 'every' with singular nouns.

'Each' puts more emphasis on the individual

within the group

and 'every' puts our attention on the group as a whole.

Got it?

Good!

But there's still some important things

that you need to know.

So when you're talking about exactly two things,

you can use 'each',

not when you're talking about three or four or ten things.

Only when you're talking about two.

I've got two ears,

so I can use 'each' to talk about my ears

but I can't use 'every', alright?

I have an earring in every ear.

it sounds really quite strange like,

how many ears do you have?

Earlier I told you that 'each' and 'every' are usually used

with singular nouns

but there is a little exception or a rule

that we've got to talk about here.

'Every' can't be used with plural nouns

but 'each' can be used with plural nouns

with a small change in form.

To use 'each' with plural nouns,

you need to add the word 'of'.

We can't say:

But we can say:

Now there's not much difference in meaning

between these two correct sentences

but it's important to notice that we do include

the article 'the' here.

It's really important, right? You must use it

unless you're using the plural determiners or pronouns

like 'us' or 'them'

or 'these' or 'those', we don't need to use the article then.

Right so let's look at a couple of examples

of how they're used.

It's really important there that we are using our finger

to point at what we're talking about.

Another useful thing to keep in mind is that 'every'

is more commonly used with time expressions.

Now actually 'each' wouldn't be wrong

in either of these sentences. You could use 'each' with

many of these time expressions

but 'every' is just more common and it usually sounds

a little more natural,

The difference is very subtle.

That's fine.

It's a little better, it sounds a little more natural.

So right now it's time to see if you've been

paying attention through this lesson because

we're about to practise. So I want you to see if you can

complete each of the sentences that you see up here

with the right word.

You have to think about the subtle differences.

So let's assume that the emphasis is on the

individual cup here.

So 'each' would be correct because of the singular noun.

What about this one?

Yep, 'every' because Saturday morning is

a time expression. What about this one?

It has to be 'each', doesn't it?

Because there are exactly two wrists.

Perfect.

I guess that has to be 'every', right?

Because we're talking about the group as a whole.

And so when we're talking about everyone as a group,

you need to use 'every'.

Alright in this last example here,

let's keep our attention on the house as a whole, okay?

Our emphasis and our attention is on the whole house

not the individual rooms inside.

So 'every' would be perfect

but of course, you could use 'each' if you were

emphasising each of the individual rooms.

All right I do have one more final question for you.

Do you remember at the start of this video when I said

that I'm here to answer each and every one

of your English questions?

So in that sentence, which option is the best option?

It's a trick question because you could use either okay?

But you can also use them together like this.

The phrase 'each and every' is really common

in spoken English and it puts all of the emphasis on

the whole group but every single person in the group.

So it's like a combination, right?

And it's a fixed expression that you'll see

from time to time

and you'll see both of these words together and that's

perfectly acceptable

especially when you are trying to emphasise

each and every person in the group is important.

So before I say goodbye to each and every one of you,

I want you to tell me in the comments if there are any

other English words like 'each' and 'every' that confuse

you a little, that you'd like me to explain more

because I'll be making more videos just like this one

to help you understand some of the more subtle

differences between English words and help you

to sound a little more natural as you're using English.

嗯，嘿，我是来自 mmmEnglish 的 Emma！

我今天在这里回答

您的每一个问题

，敬请期待！

那么它是哪一个呢？ 每个或每个？

很容易混淆这两个词。

它们看起来相似，听起来相似，

但它们并不总是以相同的方式使用。

因此，在本课中，我们将讨论

这两个词之间微妙而重要的区别。

我们将讨论

您将使用其中一种或另一种的不同情况

，当然，我们将

在本课的后面部分一起练习。

你知道我喜欢让我的课程

非常实用，所以我们稍后会讨论。

在我们开始之前，

如果您需要在下面打开字幕，请稍微

提醒一下。

我为 mmmEnglish Channel 上的每节课都写了字幕，

这样您就可以随时打开它们

。

我这里的一些了不起的学生帮助我

将这些课程翻译成他们自己的母语，

以便更多的人也可以分享和

学习。

因此，如果您准备迎接

以您的母语添加字幕的挑战，说明中有一个

链接可以帮助您做到这一点。 作为感谢，

您的名字也会出现在描述中

。

“Each”和“every”都可以与单数名词一起使用。

所有这些名词都是单数的，对吧？

这只是一个人或一件事。

因此，“each”和“every”这两个词可以

与属于一组的单数名词一起使用，

但存在细微差别。

当我们使用“每个”时，它强调或更加

关注个人。

一个人或一件事。

不止一个人来参加晚宴。

事实上，有一大群

人来参加晚宴。

但是每个人都买了一道菜

或一盘食物来分享，对吗？

所以他买了一道菜，

她买了甜点，

她买了沙拉，

他买了一些奶酪和饼干，

对吧？ 所以每个人都带来了一些东西。

现在让我们将其与“每个”进行比较。

“每个”是指一组单独的对象

或人作为一个整体，对吗？

注意力集中在整个

团队上 所以一群人来参加晚宴

，所有这些人都带来了一道菜，

但是使用“每个”，我是在强调

整个团队，对吧？

这里的每个人都买了一道菜。

现在在很多情况下，就像我

关于晚宴的例子一样，“每个”和“每个”

都可以互换使用，只是

在含义上略有不同，对吧？

您可以使用它们中的任何一个，并且差异

非常微妙。

但让我们再看几个例子来

帮助说明这一点。

因此，我将所有企业主

放在一个组中，我正在

对该组进行概括 - 所有企业主。

我是说作为一个整体，

所有这些企业主都很聪明。

所以在这里我说的

是我们学校的个别老师，他们每个人都是有创造力的。

不是所有的老师，

也不是集体在一起的，但是

学校里的每个老师都是有创造力的。

在我们继续之前，我想指出一些

非常重要的事情，你可能已经在

考虑了。

但是您是否注意到在我之前的示例中我写了

“每个人”而不是“每个人”？

所以如果你想把一群人

作为一个整体来谈论，每个人

使用“每个人”或“每个身体”是正确的，对吧？

每个人都是每个人或每个身体。

现在“everyone”用两个字写成，

其实更关注群体中的个体

，所以成为

更接近“each”的同义词，对吧？

让我们想一个例子。

在学校，你有没有让你有点

害怕的老师？ 就像想象他们说：

对吧？ 重点是个人。

但如果他们说：

那么重点是在群体上，对吧？

而且它不那么可怕。 这是一个微妙的区别，

但它的含义非常强大。

还要注意，即使我们谈论

的是一群人，“每个人”和“每个人”都

使用单数动词形式，

因为我们将群体

作为单数来谈论，对吧？

不是所有的人，

但我们在谈论这个群体，对吧？

检查是否应该使用“每个人”

或“每个人”的一个好技巧是查看是否每个人都

在该句子中工作，因为“每个人”与一个词

也是正确的。

如果每个人都没有在句子中工作，那么

带有两个词的“每个人”

是正确的选择，对吗？ 让我们看一个例子。

是的，我们可以说：

所以让我们在继续之前快速回顾一下。

我们将“每个”和“每个”与单数名词一起使用。

“每个”更加强调

群体中的个人，

而“每个”则将我们的注意力放在整个群体上。

知道了？

好的！

但仍有一些重要的

事情你需要知道。

所以当你在谈论两件事时，

你可以使用“每个”，

而不是在谈论三、四或十件事时。

只有当你在谈论两个。

我有两只耳朵，

所以我可以用“每个”来谈论我的耳朵，

但我不能用“每个”，好吗？

我每只耳朵都有一个耳环。

听起来真的很奇怪，

你有几只耳朵？

之前我告诉过你，“each”和“every”通常

与单数名词一起使用，

但有一个小例外或

我们必须在这里讨论的规则。

“every”不能与复数名词一起使用，

但“each”可以与

形式略有变化的复数名词一起使用。

要将“each”与复数名词一起使用，

您需要添加单词“of”。

我们不能说：

但是我们可以说：

现在这两个正确的句子在含义上没有太大区别，

但重要的是要注意我们确实

在此处包含了冠词“the”。

这真的很重要，对吧？ 您必须使用它，

除非您使用复数限定词或代词，

例如“我们”或“他们”

或“这些”或“那些”，我们不需要使用冠词。

好吧，让我们看几个

如何使用它们的例子。

我们用手指

指向我们正在谈论的内容，这一点非常重要。

要记住的另一件有用的事情是“every

”更常用于时间表达式。

现在实际上“每个”

在这两个句子中都不会错。 您可以将“每个”与

许多这些时间表达一起使用，

但“每个”更常见，通常听起来

更自然一些

，差异非常微妙。

没关系。

它好一点，听起来更自然一点。

所以现在是时候看看你是否一直

在关注这节课，因为

我们要练习了。 所以我想让你看看你能不能用正确的词来

完成你在这里看到的每一个句子

。

您必须考虑细微的差异。

所以让我们假设这里的重点是

单个杯子。

因此，由于单数名词，“每个”都是正确的。

这个如何？

是的，“每个”，因为星期六早上是

一个时间表达。 这个如何？

它必须是“每个”，不是吗？

因为正好有两条手腕。

完美的。

我想这必须是“每一个”，对吧？

因为我们谈论的是整个团队。

因此，当我们将每个人作为一个群体来讨论时，

您需要使用“每个”。

好吧，在最后一个例子中，

让我们把注意力集中在整个房子上，好吗？

我们的重点和注意力是整个房子，

而不是里面的各个房间。

所以“每个”都是完美的，

但当然，如果您强调每个单独的房间，您可以使用“每个”

。

好吧，我还有最后一个问题要问你。

你还记得在视频开始时我

说我是来回答

你的每一个英语问题的吗？

那么在那句话中，哪个选项是最佳选项？

这是一个棘手的问题，因为您可以使用任何一个，好吗？

但是你也可以像这样一起使用它们。

“each and every”这个短语

在英语口语中非常常见，它把所有的重点都放在

了整个团队上，但也放在了团队中的每个人身上。

所以这就像一个组合，对吧？

这是一个固定的表达方式，你会不时看到

，你会同时看到这两个词，这是

完全可以接受的，

尤其是当你试图强调

团队中的每个人都很重要时。

所以在我和你们每一个人说再见之前，

我希望你们在评论中告诉我是否还有

其他像“each”和“every”这样的英语单词让

你们有点困惑，你们希望我 解释更多，

因为我将制作更多类似的视频，

以帮助您了解

英语单词之间的一些更细微的差异，并帮助

您在使用英语时听起来更自然一些。
