Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use 'Every' and 'Each' for singular items in a group, and 'All' for the whole plural group.
- Use 'Every' + singular noun for a group as a whole: 'Every student is here.'
- Use 'Each' + singular noun for individual members: 'Each student has a pen.'
- Use 'All' + plural noun for the entire group: 'All students are here.'
Overview
all followers，every follower，还是 each follower？虽然它们看起来意思差不多，但英语可是很挑剔的。这些词就像相机镜头。它们对着同一群人或事物，但变焦方式不同。All 是广角镜头，一次拍下整个人群。Every 是标准镜头，看着整个群体，但也承认个体的存在。Each 是微距镜头，一次只强烈聚焦在一个具体的人身上。如果用错了镜头，你的句子在母语人士眼里就会显得有点“模糊”。不过别担心，一旦你掌握了这些，你就不会再说出像 'every people' 这样的话（这听起来像是在发明新物种），而是开始像个行家一样说话。无论是在帖子中圈好友，还是 AA 分摊 Uber 车费，分清这些区别都是你清晰沟通的秘密武器。all、every 和 each 登场了。它们帮你进行概括或具体化。想象一下披萨。如果你吃了 all the pizza（整个披萨），你可能会胃痛。如果你盯着 every slice（每一片），你是在检查上面的配料。如果你给 each friend（每个朋友）一片，那你真是个大好人。对大多数人来说，最大的障碍不是意思，而是数学问题。英语名词会根据你用的词而变化。有些喜欢复数名词（friends, books），有些则要求单数名词（friend, book）。这是一个微小的细节，但对你的口语自然度有巨大的影响。而且，这能让你在给暗恋对象发短信或在 Zoom 上和老板说话时，避免那些尴尬的“呃，你说啥？”时刻。How This Grammar Works
All指的是作为一个整体的整个群体。它是一个“大局观”的词。因为它看的是整个群体，所以通常搭配复数名词。Every也指整个群体，但它把群体看作是个体的集合。就像在说“这个，还有这个，还有这个……”，直到你涵盖了所有人。关键在于，英语把every视为一个单数概念。把它想象成一个团队；一个团队有很多球员，但它是“一个”团队。Each是这一堆词里最强调个体的。它逐一关注群体中的成员。当群体很小（比如两三个事物）时，或者当我们想强调某事分别发生在每个人身上时，我们通常使用它。
Allthe fans are screaming（整个粉丝群都在尖叫）。Everyfan has a ticket（人群中的每个人都有票，强调个体）。Eachfan gets a high-five from the singer（歌手跟每个粉丝击掌，一个接一个地进行）。
all 是社交达人，every 是有条理的领导者，而 each 是专注的内向者。
Formation Pattern
all:
All + 复数名词 (例如：all students, all cars)。
All + 不可数名词 (例如：all the water, all my money)。
all the 或 all of the。
every:
Every + 单数可数名词 (例如：every student, every car)。
every 和复数名词一起用。这就像要把方木头塞进圆孔里一样格格不入。
is here)。
each:
Each + 单数可数名词 (例如：each student, each car)。
every 一样，它使用单数动词 (例如：Each student has a laptop)。
each of the + 复数名词，但动词保持单数 (例如：Each of the students has a laptop)。

When To Use It
- Social Media: 当你发死党们的合照时，你可能会说：
（我所有的朋友都是最棒的。）或者如果你在回复评论，你可能会说：Allmy friends are the best.I read
（你们留下的每条评论我都看！）everycomment you guys leave! - Shopping & Apps: 当你在 Uber Eats 这样的 App 上点餐时，App 可能会提示：
（你购物车里的所有商品都来自同一家餐厅。）如果你在查评价，你可能会注意到：Allitems in your cart are from the same restaurant.
（每个评价者都给了五星。）Eachreviewer gave it five stars. - Work & Study: 在 Zoom 会议中，你可能会问：
Can
（每个人能不能都静音一下麦克风？）提交作业时，你的老师可能会说：everyperson please mute their microphone?
（你们每个人都必须上传一个 PDF 文件。）Eachof you must upload a PDF file. - Travel: 在机场，你会听到广播说：
（所有乘坐 101 航班的乘客，请前往 5 号登机口。）或者你可能会告诉你的 Vlog 观众："I visit a new caféAllpassengers for flight 101, please proceed to gate 5.everyday I'm in London."（我在伦敦的每一天都会去一家新咖啡馆。） - Streaming: 在 Netflix 上，你可能会说："I've watched
everyepisode of that show in one weekend."（我一个周末就把那部剧的每一集都看完了。）（我们都有过这种经历，不予置评！）
Common Mistakes
- The 'Every' Plural Trap: 最常见的错误是说 'every students' 或 'every people'。记住：
every是单数专用俱乐部。只能是every student和every person。如果你想用复数，请换成all。 - Verb Agreement: 人们常说 'Every student are here.' 因为
every指的是一个群体，你的大脑想用复数动词。别听它的！应该是 'Every studentishere.' - All vs. All the: 当谈论一个特定群体时，我们需要 'the'。
the students in my class are nice. (我是说我班里的那些)。- Each vs. All: 一般性地指代整个群体时使用了
each。Each适用于个体身份很重要的情况。如果你说 'Each person likes pizza,' 听起来有点像你一个个采访了他们。用 'All people like pizza' 进行概括会更好。 - Each of the: 忘记了 'Each of the...' 需要跟复数名词但动词要是单数。是 'Each of the girls
istalented,' 而不是 'Each of the girlsaretalented.' 我知道，这是个奇怪的英语怪癖。
Contrast With Similar Patterns
each 和 every 的区别是这条语法规则的“最终 Boss”。- Group Size: 对于两个或更多的群体，我们用
each。对于三个或更多的群体，我们用every。当谈论你的两只眼睛或两只手时，你不能说 'every'。你是在eachhand（每一只手）上戴戒指，而不是 'every' hand（除非你是个非常有天赋的外星人）。 - Frequency: 我们几乎总是用
every来表示某事发生的频率。'Every day'（每天），'every week'（每周），'every Christmas'（每个圣诞节）。你很少听到 'each day'，除非是在诗意的歌曲里或者非常戏剧化的电影预告片里。 - Emphasis:
Each更侧重于个体。如果教练说：I want
听起来像他在专门盯着你。如果他说：eachplayer to run five miles,
听起来更像是一条普遍的队规。Everyplayer must run, - All vs. Every: 当你想谈论不可数事物的总量时（all the luck, all the time），使用
all。Every不能与不可数名词连用。你不能说 'every luck'。那会是一个非常奇怪的 RPG 属性。 - Pronouns: 你可以单独使用
each作为代词。There are two apples.
（有两个苹果。每一个都是红的。）你不能这样用Eachis red.every。你必须说
或Every oneis redEvery appleis red.
Quick FAQ
我可以说 'All of my friends' 吗？
可以！'All my friends' 和 'all of my friends' 都是正确的。'All of' 稍微正式一点点，但在日常聊天中两种都可以。
是 'every day' 还是 'everyday'？
问得好！'Every day'（两个词）是关于频率（I gym every day - 我每天健身）。'Everyday'（一个词）是形容词，意思是“日常的/普通的”（these are my everyday shoes - 这是我的日常用鞋）。
我可以用 'each' 形容大群体吗？
可以，如果你想强调个体的话。"The teacher knows each student's name«（老师知道每个学生的名字）听起来比 »The teacher knows every student's name" 更亲切、个人化。
为什么我不能说 'Every of them'？
英语就是不喜欢这样。请用 'Each of them' 或 'Every one of them' 代替。
'All' 总是意味着 100% 吗？
通常是的。但在日常口语中，我们用它来夸张。
All my hair is a mess!（我头发全乱了！）（其实可能只是大部分乱了，咱们实事求是点）。

常见时间表达
`Each of the` vs. `Every one of the`
Each of the 很常用，也很直接。Every one of the 也是对的，它会稍微多强调一点“一个接一个”的感觉，但意思和 each of the 非常相似。Smart Tips
Stop and remove the 's' from the noun or change 'Every' to 'All'.
Always use 'Each' or 'Both', never 'Every'.
Remember to include 'the' or a possessive like 'my' before the noun.
Use 'Each and every' for extra power.

Every 在这里用来指代所有学生，作为一个整体，后面跟单数名词和动词。Find and fix the mistake:
All the informations was very helpful.
Information 在英语中是不可数名词，所以不能用复数形式（informations）。而且，不可数名词后面要跟单数动词（was），而不是复数动词（were）。Choose the correct sentence:
Each of the 后面需要跟单数动词（was），因为它强调的是个体成员。第一个选项用了复数动词（were），第二个选项 every 后面用了复数名词（employees），这些都是错误的。Score: /3

常见问题 (8)
No. 'Every' must always be followed by a singular noun. Say 'Every student' or 'All the students'.
'Every day' means Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. 'All day' means from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM on one specific day.
Slightly. 'Each' is often used in formal or technical writing to emphasize individual parts.
It's optional before nouns ('All the kids' or 'All of the kids'), but mandatory before pronouns ('All of them').
No. Use 'Each' or 'Both' for two things. 'Every' is for three or more.
Because the subject is 'Each' (singular), not 'students'.
Yes, when used with uncountable nouns like 'All the milk is gone' or in phrases like 'All I want is you'.
'Everyone' refers to people. 'Every one' refers to individual items (like every one of the cookies).
