Each refers to one by one. Every means all. You �ll see that the meanings are very close, so it �s a matter of emphasis, whether it �s the individual or the whole group.

Each person has a name (individually).

Every person has a name (the whole group).

Each day brings its own surprises.

Every day has a surprise.

Does each of you have a book?

Does everyone have a book?

Each of you disappointed me with your grades.

Every one of you failed the exam.

I talked to each student. (shows the individual effort)

I talked to every student. (shows the completion of the task).
