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.
