NA2 11/1/18

p.49

ex. 6
dirt, pollution, advertisements, motorists, confused, clean.

Ex. 9
each ~ individual; every ~ all
We tend to use each if we are thinking about members of a group individually, and every if we are thinking of them in total. Compare the following:
  • We gave each child who came to the party a present.
We handed them out one by one.
  • We gave every child who came to the party a present
We gave them all a present.
  • I really love Pinter. I've seen every one of his plays at least once.
I've seen them all.
  • You suggested I should read Pinter's plays. Well, I'm going to study each one carefully.
  • Every third-year student will be examined orally in June. They will each be given a fifteen minute interview.
