[Middle English everi, everich , from Old English ǣfre ǣlc : ǣfre , ever ; see aiw- in Indo-European roots + ǣlc , each ; see līk- in Indo-European roots .] Usage Note: Every is representative of a group of English words and expressions that are singular in form but felt to be plural in sense. The class includes noun phrases introduced by every, any, and certain uses of some. These expressions invariably take a singular verb; we say Every car has (not have ) been tested, Anyone is (not are ) liable to fall ill, and Some pizza is left over from the party. But when a sentence contains a pronoun that refers to a previous noun phrase introduced by every, grammar and sense pull in different directions. The grammar of these expressions requires a singular pronoun, as in Every car must have its brakes tested, but the meaning often leads people to use the plural pronoun, as in Every car must have their brakes tested. The use of plural pronouns in such cases is common in speech, but it is still widely regarded as incorrect in writing. · The effort to adhere to the grammatical rule causes complications, however. The first is grammatical. When a pronoun refers to a phrase containing every or any that falls within a different independent clause, the pronoun cannot be singular. Thus it is not idiomatic to say Every man left; he took his raincoat with him. Nor is it grammatical to say No one could be seen, could he? If the plural forms seem wrong in these examples (Every man took their raincoat with them ), one way around the problem is to rephrase the sentence so as to get the pronoun into the same clause (as in Every man left, taking his raincoat with him ). Another is to substitute another word for every or any, usually by casting the entire sentence as plural, as in All the men left; they took their raincoats with them. · The second complication involves the issue of gender. When a phrase introduced by every or any refers to a group containing both men and women, what should the gender of the singular pronoun be? This matter is discussed in the Usage Notes at he and they. See Usage Notes at all , each , either , he 1 , neither , none , they .

All rights reserved. every 1. 'every' You use every in front of the singular form of a countable noun to show that you are referring to all the members of a group and not just some of them. She spoke to every person at the party. I agree with every word Peter says. This new wealth can be seen in every village . 2. 'every' and 'all' You can often use every or all with the same meaning. For example, ' Every student should attend' means the same as ' All students should attend'. However, every is followed by the singular form of a noun, whereas all is followed by the plural form. Every child is entitled to free education. All children love to build and explore. See all 3. 'each' Instead of 'every' or 'all', you sometimes use each . You use each when you are thinking about the members of a group as individuals. Each customer has the choice of thirty colours. Each meal will be served in a different room. See each 4. referring back to 'every' You usually use a singular pronoun such as he , she , him , or her to refer back to an expression beginning with every . Every businesswoman would have a secretary if she could. However, when you are referring back to an expression such as every student or every inhabitant which does not indicate a specific sex, you usually use they or them . Every employee knew exactly what their job was. 5. used with expressions of time You use every to show that something happens at regular intervals. They met every day . Every Monday there is a staff meeting. Every and all do not have the same meaning when they are used with expressions of time. For example, if you do something every morning , you do it regularly each morning. If you do something all morning , you spend the whole of one morning doing it. He goes running every day . I was busy all day . 6. 'every other' If something happens, for example, every other year or every second year, it happens one year, then does not happen the next year, then happens the year after that, and so on. We only save enough money to take a real vacation every other year. It seemed easier to shave every second day.
