Talk:every

every now and then

What meaning is used in every now and then? --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:18, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

every one

With a pronoun, or a determiner + noun, we can use each of + but with every we must use every one: {Each - every one - *every} of us has one. --Backinstadiums (talk) 21:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

every reason

Should we create something like have every reason to or simply every reason? Or is it SOP? Imetsia (talk) 18:33, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

"Every" must refer to three or more

Each can refer to two or more, whereas every must refer to three or more. Each, though not every, may also be placed after a plural noun, and then the plural governs the verb: The puppies each have their own toys. --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:02, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Possesive pronoun + every

vs. each

I examined each/every puppy in the litter : shift in perspective, considering the animals individually/collectively, respectively. 
Don't use words such as almost', 'nearly', or not in front of each. You say ''Almost every house in the street is for sale'. 
Don't use each (of) in a negative clause, *'Each boy did not enjoy football.  You say ''None of the boys did'.
