Any, No, Each and Every

What are we learning today?

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

Explanation

• Use "any" in questions and negatives with plural nouns.
• "No" means "not any". The verb stays positive: There were no cats.
• Use "every" for all of a group: every day, every year.
• Use "each" for one by one: Each student has a pencil.
• After "every", use a singular noun and a singular verb.

Examples

1. Were there any roses in the garden?
2. There weren't any cows in the field.
3. Every student has a book.

Remember!

• Do not say "Are there some books?" Say "Are there any books?"
• Do not say "aren't no pens" or "every students".
