Adverb: from each[edit]

I examined each/every puppy in the litter : shift in perspective from considering the animals individually/collectively, respectively. Don't use words such as 'almost', 'nearly', or 'not' in front of each. You say 'Almost every house in the street is for sale'. Don't use 'each (of)' in a negative clause, *'Each boy did not enjoy football.' You say 'None of the boys did'. https://www.thefreedictionary.com/each --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
