each

1.each和every都作“每”解，但用法不同，该注意下面各点：

（1）each可以用作代词，但every现在只可用作形容词，如可以说each of these books，不可说every of these books，该在every后面加上one。each one也有人用，往往含有“没有遗漏”的意思。

（2）each可以指两个或两个以上中间的“每个”，但every只可指两个以上中间的“每个”，不可指两个中间的“每个”，如可以说each of my hands，不可说every one of my hands。但可以说every one of my fingers。

（3）each通常指固定的若干个中间的“每个”，但every往往指“任何一个”，如Each boy sitting at the table is my brother和Every boy should do his best。

（4）every比each语气重些。在every指固定的若干个中间的“每个”的时候，着重在全体而不在个别的各个，如I know every member of the family着重在“认得全家的人”，I know each member of the family着重在“认得各个人”。

2.each或each…属于单数形式，如Each is good, Each of the books is good和Each book is good。把each或each...当作复数是英美人常有的错误。

3.下面两句意思相同：

• Each of the boys has his own mother.
• The boys each have their own mothers.

第二句不可改作The boys each have his own mother。

下面两句意思也相同：

• Each of the boys has two apples.
• The boys have two apples each.

第二句改作The boys each have two apples也可以，但不很自然。

下面两句意思也相同：

• Each of the boys is clever.
• The boys are each of them clever.

第二句改作The boys are each clever或The boys are clever each也可以，但不很自然。

4.each of them, each of us, each of those, each of the books等都可以说，但不可说each of A and B或each of A, B, and C。

5.不可说between each或between each... 参见between 1

6.each other和one another可以通用，参见another 8

7.each other的物主代词形式是each other's，不是each others'。但each other's fathers, each other's faces等表达方式里通常用fathers和faces，很少用单数形式。

8.each other不可用作主语，如不可说We know what each other wants，该说We know each what the other wants或Each of us knows what the other wants。假使一共有三个或三个以上的人，该说We know each what the others want或Each of us knows what the others want。

9.注意Each day, each hour, and each minute has its interest里用has和its，不用have和their。

10.Each time (that) I saw her I admired her more里的that可有可无。
