Hello welcome to this tutorial.
Today we are going to talk about distributes each and every.
Let's get started distributive determiner is or simply distribute it's referred to a group of people
or things and to individual members of the group.
Note that they show different ways of looking at the individual within a group and they express how
something is distributed shared or divided.
Have a look at the example over here.
Each person is unique.
Every person is unique.
Now the distributive each and every are both related to describing the members of a group these distributors
can only be used with countable nouns by being placed before the nouns.
Now in many cases they are interchangeable but there is a subtle difference between them.
Let's have a look at that subtotal difference between each and every
now.
Each is used to describe and highlight an individual member of a group or multiple individuals.
Note that by using each you recognize the item is a part of a group but that it also needs to be pointed
out as a singular item to have a look at the example over here.
Each book on the shell had a unique cover.
The distributive eat refers to the countable noun book which is part of other books on the shelf.
Note that each can be used with plural nouns and pronouns but it must be followed by off as in the example
over here each of the pupils received a Christmas card.
Pupils is a plural noun
also.
Each can be used after the subject or at the end of the sentence.
Let's have a look at the following examples.
My siblings each have their own room after the subject.
My mother gave my sister and I twenty dollars each.
This means that she gave twenty dollars to each of us.
Now let's have a look at the distributive every By contrast every is a way of referring to the group
as a collection of individual members.
Note that every can not be used with plural nouns.
Let's have a look at the example over here.
Every boys in my class wanted that computer game.
Now this sentence would be incorrect because boys is plural and we cannot use every with plural nouns
the correct form would be every boy in my class wanted that computer game.
Also remember that every can express different points in a series especially with time expressions.
For example in the sentence we have every morning Phillip goes for a run.
Now in this sentence the distributive every expresses a time expression which is warning and in the
sentence and every time and would forgive him the distributive every expresses the word tying which
tells us about what and does every time in a series.
