E0000700 (ēch)adj. Being one of two or more considered individually; every: Each person cast a vote. My technique improved with each lesson.pron. Every one of a group considered individually; each one.adv. For or to each one; apiece: ten cents each.

[Middle English ech, from Old English ǣlc; see līk- in Indo-European roots.]Usage Note: In standard usage, the subject of a sentence beginning with each is grammatically singular, and so the verb and following pronouns must be singular: Each of the apartments has (not have) its (not their) own private entrance (not entrances). When each follows a plural subject, however, the verb and subsequent pronouns remain plural: The apartments each have their own private entrances (not has its own private entrance). When each follows the verb, it has been traditionally considered acceptable to say either The boys have each their own bike or The boys have each his own bike, though both of these (and especially the latter) are likely to seem stilted in comparison to The boys each have their own bike or The boys each have their own bikes. · The expression each and every is likewise followed by a singular verb and singular pronoun: Each and every driver knows (not know) what his or her (not their) job is to be. This expression is sometimes criticized as redundant, and so it is, but it emphasizes both the universality and individuality of the collection being discussed, much like every single one. See Usage Notes at every, they.

each

(iːtʃ) determinera. every (one) of two or more considered individually: each day; each person. b. (as pronoun): each gave according to his ability. advfor, to, or from each one; apiece: four apples each. [Old English ǣlc; related to Old High German ēogilīh, Old Frisian ellik, Dutch elk]Usage: Each is a singular pronoun and should be used with a singular form of a verb: each of the candidates was (not were) interviewed separately

each

(itʃ)

adj. 1. every one of two or more considered individually or one by one: each stone in a wall; a door at each end. pron. 2. every one individually; each one: Each had a different solution to the problem. adv. 3. to, from, or for each; apiece: They cost a dollar each. [before 900; Middle English eche, Old English ælc=ā ever (see ay¹) + (ge)līc alike; c. Old Frisian ellīk, Old High German ēogilīh] usage: When the adjective each follows a plural subject, the verb agrees with the subject: The houses each have central heating. When the pronoun, a singular form, is followed by an of phrase containing a plural noun or pronoun, strict usage requires the singular verb: Each of the candidates has spoken on the issue. Yet plural verbs tend to occur frequently even in edited writing. Usage guides also advise that each must be referred to by a singular pronoun. Again, actual usage does not always conform. Singular pronouns do occur in the most formal speech and writing: Each club member had his own project. But the use of plural pronouns has been increasing in the U.S., partially to avoid a suggestion of sexism: Each club member had their own project. These same general patterns of pronoun agreement are followed in the use of anyone, anybody, everyone, everybody, no one, someone, and somebody. See also they.

each

1. 'each'

You use each in front of the singular form of a countable noun to talk about every person or thing in a group. You use each rather than 'every' when you are thinking about the members of a group as individuals.

Each applicant has five choices.They interviewed each candidate.Each country is divided into several districts.2. 'each of'

Instead of using 'each', you can sometimes use each of. For example, instead of saying 'Each soldier was given a new uniform', you can say 'Each of the soldiers was given a new uniform'. Each of is followed by a determiner and the plural form of a countable noun.

Each of these phrases has a different meaning.They inspected each of her appliances carefully.

You also use each of in front of plural pronouns.

They were all just sitting there, each of them thinking private thoughts.Each of these would be a big advance in its own right.

When you use each of in front of a plural noun or pronoun, you use a singular form of a verb after the noun or pronoun.

Be Careful!
You never use each without of in front of a plural noun or pronoun. Don't say, for example, 'Each cases was carefully locked'.
