Instructions
Click on the words at the bottom and drag them into the empty boxes of the sentence to complete it. When more than one option is possible, CHOOSE THE BEST.
Meaning 
Both can be used with little difference in meaning
Every/Each house comes with a garage
But we prefer EACH when we are thinking of people or things separately (one at a time), and we prefer EVERY when we are thinking of people or things together, in a group (remember that EVERY is similar to ALL)
- Each student had to stand up and give an example (more normal than: ...every student)
- The rain fell on every tree (more normal than: ... on each tree)
- She lost every penny she had
- I put a stamp on each envelope
Usage EACH and EVERY are both normally used with singular nouns. EACH can be used to talk about two or more people or things. EVERY is normally used to talk about three or more:
- 1: X
- 2: Each
- 3, etc: Each / Every
- We are losing customers every/each year
- She was wearing rings on each hand (not: ...on every hand)
- Every child needs a family
- Each girl has a bag
As a pronoun EACH can also be a pronoun, but EVERY needs ONE
- I have two dogs, each has its own dish (also: ...each one has...)
- I don't have more dictionaries. I have sold every one
EVERY ONE vs EVERYONE
Everyone= Everybody (All the people)
- Everyone was trying to find a place to park (= Everybody was...)
Every one = Every + the pronoun ONE
