高考英语词语辨析：all, every, each的区别
1. 三者都可用来概括全体，但强调重点不同：all(全部)是整体性地考虑总体(具有概括性)，every (每个)是考虑总体中的所有成员(与 all 很接近)，each (每个)是逐个逐个地考虑总体(具有个别性)。比较：
All men die. 所有的人都是要死的。
Every man dies. 每一个人都要死的。
Each man must die alone. 人都必然会一个个地死去。
2. all 和 each 既可作形容词(其后接名词)，也可用作代词( 单独使用或后接 of 短语);而 every 却只能用作形容词(其后接名词)，不能用作代词(即不能单独使用或后接 of 短语)。如：
正：all books / Each is good. 所有的书 / 每个都很好。
误：every of the books / Every is good.
3. each 和 every 之后通常接单数可数名词，用作主语时，其谓语动词用单数。如：
Each (man) does his own work. 各人做自己的工作。
Every student in the school passed the swimming test. 这个学校的每个学生都通过了游泳测试。
若后接两个用 and 连接的名词，其谓语依然用单数。如：
Every [Each] man and woman knows it. 每个男人和女人都知道此事。
但是，each 用于复数主语后作同位语，后面的谓语用复数。如：
The students each have a dictionary. 学生每人有一本字典。
4.each 指两者或两者以上的“每个”，every 指三者或三者以上“每个”，因此指两者时只能用 each。如：
There are trees on each side of the road. 路两边都有树。
5. every 可受 almost, nearly 等副词的修饰，但 each 却不能。如：
差不多每个学生都读过这本书。
正：Almost every student has read the book.
误：Almost each student has read the book.
