二、each与every都可用作形容词,在句中作定语,但each更强调个人或个别,every表示“每个”之意,含有“全体”、“全部”之意味.
如:

我认识你们家的每个成员.(强调每一个都认识)

我认识你们家的每个成员.(强调认识全家人)
三、each指两个或两个以上的人或事物中的“每个”;every是指许多人或事物的“全”.
如:

〔误〕I gave a present to every one of her parents .
〔正〕I gave a present to each of her parents .

〔误〕I think every answer of the three is right .
〔正〕I think each of the three answers is right .
我看见人人都忙着工作.
〔误〕I saw each was busy with his work .
〔正〕I saw everyone was busy with his work .
五、each 单独做主语或each、every修饰的单数名词做主语时,谓语动词为单数形式,但each of them做主语时,谓语动词用单数或复数形式都可以.
如:
Each / Each person / Every person is living a happy life now.
人人都过着幸福生活.
Each of them are / is wearing full dress.
他们个个都身着盛装.
六、every可以与not连用构成部分否定,意思是“并不/非所有人”,而each则不可以与not连用.全部否定是no one ,意思是“个个都不”、“没有人”等.
如:

〔误〕Each / Everyone / Every one of them doesn’t like the TV play .
(表示并不是所有人都喜欢这个电视剧,并不排除可能还有人喜欢)
〔正〕No one likes the TV play .
七、each与other可构成相互代词,every则不可以.
如:
We should take care of each other and help each other.
我们应该互相关心,互相帮助.
八、表示“每隔……”、“每……”,要用“every+基数词+复数名词”.这种结构中的every不能用each替代.
如:
They’ll choose one out of every ten girls .
他们将在每十个姑娘里挑选一个.
We hand in our homework every three days.
我们每隔两天(每三天)交一次作业.
注意:“每三天或每隔两天”,也可以写作“every third day”,即,若用序数词时,后接单数名词.再如every four weeks / fourth week(每四周/每隔三周),every other day / second day / two days(每隔一天),every other line(每隔一行)等.
