Language notes
To your friend each day. 每天对你的朋友。
each与 every 都有 “每个” 的意思，但二者含义及语法功能不同，主要区别是
1. each 既可用作形容词，又可用作代词，在句中可以作定语，主语、宾语、同位语、状语等。例如：
Each student has his own dictionary . （形容词，定语）每个学生都有自己的字典。
Each has his good point. （代词，主语）各人有各自的优点。
Our headteacher had a talk with each of us. （代词，宾语）我们的班主任与我们每个人都谈了话。
The students each have a desk. （代词，同位语）学生们每人有一张书桌。
The children can have a bag each. （副词，状语）孩子们每人可带一只提包。 
each 与 every 都可用作形容词，在句中作定语，但 each 更强调个人或个别，every 更强调全体或全部。比较：
I know each number of your family.我认识你们家的每个成员。
I know every number of your family.我认识你们家的每个成员。

3. each 指两个或两个以上的人或事物中的 “每个”；every 是指许多人或事物的 “全体”，
      与 all 的意思相近。
试译：这条街上每边都有很多商店。
［误］There are many shops on every side of the street.
［正］There are many shops on each side of the street.
我给她父母每人一件礼物。
［误］I gave a present to every one of her parents.
［正］I gave a present to each of her parents.
5. each 单独作主语或 each, every 修饰的单数名词作主语时，谓语动词为单数形式，但 each of them 作主语时，谓语动词用单数或复数形式都可以。例如：Each / Each person / Every person is living a happy life now.人人都过着幸福生活。Each of them are / is wearing full dress.他们个个都身着盛装。
6. every 可以与 not 连用构成部分否定，意思是“并不/非人人”，而 each 则不可以与 not 连用。全部否定是 no one ，意思是 “个个都不”、“没有人”等。
例如：人人都不喜欢这个电视剧。
［误］Each / Everyone / Every one of them doesn’t like the TV play.
［正］No one likes the TV play.
7. each 与 other 可构成相互代词，every 则不可以。例如：
我们应该互相关心，互相帮助。
We should take care of each other and help each other.
8. 表示 “每隔……”、“每……”，要用 “every＋基数词＋复数名词”。这种结构中的 every 不能用 each替代。
例如：They’ll choose one out of every ten girls.
他们将在每十个姑娘里挑选一个。
We hand in our homework every three days.
我们每隔两天（每三天）交一次作业。
注意：“每三天或每隔两天”，也可以写作 “every third day”，即，若用序数词时，后接单数名词。再如 every four weeks / fourth week（每四周/每隔三周），every other day / second day / two days（每隔一天），every other line（每隔一行）等。
