Hello welcome to this tutorial.

00:03.480 --> 00:10.850
Today we are going to talk about distributes each and every.

00:10.920 --> 00:20.030
Let's get started distributive determiner is or simply distribute it's referred to a group of people

00:20.330 --> 00:25.600
or things and to individual members of the group.

00:25.670 --> 00:34.460
Note that they show different ways of looking at the individual within a group and they express how

00:34.460 --> 00:39.900
something is distributed shared or divided.

00:39.940 --> 00:43.460
Have a look at the example over here.

00:43.460 --> 00:46.850
Each person is unique.

00:46.850 --> 00:53.730
Every person is unique.

00:53.780 --> 01:04.450
Now the distributive each and every are both related to describing the members of a group these distributors

01:04.480 --> 01:12.310
can only be used with countable nouns by being placed before the nouns.

01:12.310 --> 01:19.860
Now in many cases they are interchangeable but there is a subtle difference between them.

01:19.930 --> 01:25.180
Let's have a look at that subtotal difference between each and every

01:29.420 --> 01:29.990
now.

01:29.990 --> 01:39.830
Each is used to describe and highlight an individual member of a group or multiple individuals.

01:39.830 --> 01:50.060
Note that by using each you recognize the item is a part of a group but that it also needs to be pointed

01:50.060 --> 01:57.320
out as a singular item to have a look at the example over here.

01:57.320 --> 02:01.670
Each book on the shell had a unique cover.

02:01.860 --> 02:14.020
The distributive eat refers to the countable noun book which is part of other books on the shelf.

02:14.020 --> 02:24.790
Note that each can be used with plural nouns and pronouns but it must be followed by off as in the example

02:25.060 --> 02:31.090
over here each of the pupils received a Christmas card.

02:31.090 --> 02:34.150
Pupils is a plural noun

02:36.910 --> 02:37.790
also.

02:37.960 --> 02:45.070
Each can be used after the subject or at the end of the sentence.

02:45.100 --> 02:48.520
Let's have a look at the following examples.

02:48.580 --> 02:56.140
My siblings each have their own room after the subject.

02:57.470 --> 03:04.040
My mother gave my sister and I twenty dollars each.

03:04.040 --> 03:12.970
This means that she gave twenty dollars to each of us.

03:12.980 --> 03:22.800
Now let's have a look at the distributive every By contrast every is a way of referring to the group

03:23.310 --> 03:26.760
as a collection of individual members.

03:26.760 --> 03:32.290
Note that every can not be used with plural nouns.

03:32.340 --> 03:36.050
Let's have a look at the example over here.

03:37.030 --> 03:41.820
Every boys in my class wanted that computer game.

03:41.830 --> 03:52.390
Now this sentence would be incorrect because boys is plural and we cannot use every with plural nouns

03:53.290 --> 04:02.110
the correct form would be every boy in my class wanted that computer game.

04:02.120 --> 04:11.440
Also remember that every can express different points in a series especially with time expressions.

04:11.490 --> 04:18.250
For example in the sentence we have every morning Phillip goes for a run.

04:18.450 --> 04:28.220
Now in this sentence the distributive every expresses a time expression which is warning and in the

04:28.220 --> 04:39.410
sentence and every time and would forgive him the distributive every expresses the word tying which

04:39.410 --> 04:45.290
tells us about what and does every time in a series.
