each與every都有“每個”的意思,但二者含義及語法功能不同,主要區(qū)別是：
1.each既可用作形容詞,又可用作代詞,在句中可以作定語,主語、賓語、同位語、狀語等.
Each studen t has his own dictionary .（形容詞,定語）
Each has hi s good point .（代詞,主語）
Our head teacher had a ta lk with each of us .（代詞,賓語）
The students each h ave a desk .（代詞,同位語）

2.each與every都可用作形容詞,在句中作定語,但each更強調個人或個別,every更強調全體或全部.比較：
I know each number of your family .
I know every number of your f amily .
3.each指兩個或兩個以上的人或事物中的“每個”；every是指許多人或事物的“全體”,與all的意思相近.試譯：來源：www.examda.com
