Any, No, Each and Every

What are we learning today?

You will learn to use any, no, each and every in sentences.

Explanation

• Use any in questions and negative sentences: Is there any traffic? There aren't any ladders.
• No means "not any". Use it in a sentence without "not": There are no cars.
• Every means all, as one group. It takes a singular verb: Every day there is more traffic.
• Each means one by one: Each child has a ticket.
• Do not use two negatives: say "There aren't any cars" or "There are no cars".

Examples

1. Are there any ladders in the garden?
2. There is no ladder in the garden.
3. Every student has a book.
4. Each child has a ticket.

Remember!

• Never say "There aren't no cars".
• Every is followed by a singular verb.
