Business English: Tip of the Week: each and every
Hier bekommen Sie einen kleinen Tipp, wie Sie Ihr Englisch verbessern können. Jede Woche geht es um ein neues Thema.Tip of the week
Often small tips can help increase the fluency of our written and spoken English. Every week this podcast will cover a small grammatical point.
This week the difference between 'each' and 'every'
'Each' and 'every' are very similar in meaning. Often it is possible to use either 'each' or 'every'.
For example, you can say:
"Each time I go shopping I forget something."
Or:
"Every time I go shopping I forget something."
'Each' and 'every' are not exactly the same.
Study the difference:
We use 'each' when we think of things separately, one by one.
For instance, "Read each question carefully." Meaning, read each question one by one.
On the other hand, we use 'every' when we think of things as a group, when the meaning is similar to all.
For example, "Every question must have a question mark." Meaning all questions in general.
'Each' is more usual for a small number:
"There were four books on the table. Each book was a different colour."
'Every', on the other hand, is more usual for a large number:
"Heather loves reading. She's read every book in the library."
Each and every can also have more specific meanings and uses.
For example, only 'each' can be used to describe two things.
Thus, "In a football match, each team has 11 players." Not 'every team'.
Each can also be used in the middle or at the end of the sentence.
For example, "The children were each given a toy. The toys cost five pounds each."
Every can be used to describe how often something happens:
For instance, "Helen goes to the gym every day." Not, 'each day'.
