(1)each具有和的功能,every只有形容词的功能.
(2)each指两个或两个以上的人或事物中的“每个”;every是指三个以上的人或事物的“全体”,和all的意思相近.如:
He gave a book to each of his parents.
他给他父母各送了一本书.
Every comrade was there and each did his work.
每个同志都在那儿,各人做各人的工作.
(3)every总是修饰单数名词,后接单数.
Every man and woman knows that.
每个男人和女人都知道那事.
(4)each作为形容词,修饰单数名词,接单数动词.作为,单独使用,接单数动词;放在复数名词和代词后作同位语,接复数动词.each of them后可接单数或复数动词.如:
Each man carries his own bag.(修饰单数名词)各人背自己的包.
We each have our own office.(作We的同位语)我们各有各的办公室.
Each carries his own bag.(代词)各人背自己的包.
Each of them are/is here.(代词)他们每个人都在这儿.
