every in a sentence. A lot of people get confused because they are similar to each other, but

cannot be used interchangeably every time. So first we are going to take a look at how

to use each in a sentence.

Now what is each mean? Each is obviously singular, It means one, so If I'm gonna tell you study

each sentence carefully. I mean study individual sentences, so each sentence over here, I mean

one by one individual sentence. So that means you are going to take up one sentence and

study it carefully and then move on to the next one, so each here means individual or

one by one. So study each sentence carefully. Now my next example each player played well,

now each player means, I'm talking about an individuals performance. So how do they perform?

so individually each player played well, so I mean one individual. Now in my next sentence

I have each of the children received a gift. Now when I say each of, I have each of remember

you always follow it, by a plural noun. So children is plural, It's more then one, so

you have each of plus a plural noun or a pronoun. So I say each of the children. Now imagine

there are so many children here, so so many of them, I'm telling you each. So I am talking

about them as individuals, so each of them, each of the children singular, so each of

the children received a gift. So, so many children and well each of them received a

gift. This cannot be in the case of every, you cannot say every of the children, you

always say each of, but do remember after you use each of, do put the noun or the pronoun

in plural. Now he met each of the team members personally. Again if you see each of, here

you have members, It's a plural noun. So you can't say he met each of the team member,

that is absolutely incorrect, because there are so many team members facing each of them

personally. So out of many each of them, so one by one he met each of them personally.

So do remember this, you can use each of followed by a plural noun or a pronoun. I can also

say he met each of them personally.

Now in my next example there are two boys each is smiling. You use each to talk about

two things or two people. But that restricts you only to two, not to three and more then

three, so two things or two people. So there are two boys each is smiling. So what I mean

to tell you is each of them is smiling, so each is singular, like I said, so definitely

the verb that follows is a singular, because we are using a singular word here. So each

is smiling, now a lot of people would make the mistake and say each are smiling. Well,

that is not the case though we are talking about two boys, but each is smiling. You can

say each of them is smiling, so remember we use two to, we use each to talk about two

things or maximum two people, but two. Well, in the next example. In a football match each

team has eleven players. Now you know why we use each here, because a football match

always has two teams participating. So we cannot use every, I have heard a lot of people

say in a football match every team has eleven players. No this is absolutely incorrect,

because each is always used for two things, two people or anything that we talk to, so

in a football match each team. Again we have a singular verb because you are talking about

each team. Individual team has eleven players and that is why we use a singular verb.

Okay friends well I hope you have understood the basic uses of each. Now we are gonna take

a look at, How to use every in a sentence. So now how do we use every, every is used

for larger numbers and talking about a unit as a whole. I have read every book in the

library. Now why do I say every, I can't even begin to count the number of books a library

has, there are more then two books maybe a thousand books. I have read every book. Well,

I have read each book in the library, but it is always better to use every because we

are talking about larger numbers or indefinite amount. So I have read every book in the library.

Now in the next sentence, Every house in the town is painted white. Now if you go to count

the number of houses, It is huge. There are a lot of houses in every town. So better then

each house in the town, It is always better to use every because we are relating to a

larger number of houses, more then two for sure. And the amount or the number is indefinite,

we really do not have a definite number, so every house in the town is painted white.

Now she plays tennis every Sunday. If you go to see here I am defining the frequency

or telling you how often something happens, so when you say that or when you talk about

a frequency or when you want to say how often something happens, you use every. Now a lot

of people would use each Sunday. Well, this is not correct because we are talking about

the frequency of an action, so use every. So when you talk about frequency friends,

remember to use every. Like in my next sentence, I wash my car every month. Now here I'm telling

you how often I wash my car every month. I am stating a frequency, so please use every.

Now the next example, He carried a bag in every hand. Well, this sentence sound correct,

Now think about it, you have two hands, so when I want to say I carried a bag in both

of my hands, I would use each over here, because if you remember, when we were learning each.

I said that when you talk about two things or two people. Always use each, so this is

how you cannot use every, because every talks about three or more then three, so the correct

one would be, he carried a bag in each hand. Definitely he has two hands, so in each hand

he carried a bag. The manager wants to speak to every employee in his office. Now why is

it that I have used every here and not each? That's because there are more then two employees

in the organization, so the better thing to say is every. Okay remember we deal with larger

numbers three or more than three, so use every.

So the manager wants to speak to every employee in his office. So every because more then

two employees. Well friends this is how we use each and every in a sentence and this

brings me to the end of this lesson. I hope you enjoyed watching. Well, as usual I have

a small test for you, do take it let me know your scores. I'll be back soon till then take

care and bye.
