    Key Difference:

    • Each is used when you’re talking about all the items in a group, one by one.
    • Either is used when you have a choice between two things.

    Structured Breakdown:

    1. Each

    Meaning: “Each” refers to individual items in a group, with the idea that we’re considering them one at a time.

    Usage:

    • Use “each” when you want to emphasize every single item or person in a group.
    • “Each” works for groups of two or more.
    • It can be used as an adjective, pronoun, or adverb.

    Examples:

    • Each student in the class received a certificate. (We are talking about every individual student, one by one.)
    • The apples cost $2 each. (Each individual apple has the same price.)
    • Each of them was excited to join the competition.

    2. Either

    Meaning: “Either” is used when you’re choosing between two options or talking about both options (in a positive sense).

    Usage:

    • Use “either” when you are making a decision between two possibilities.
    • It can also mean “one or the other” but not both at the same time.

    Examples:

    • You can take either the blue shirt or the red shirt. (You have two options, and you can choose one.)
    • Either of the roads will lead you to the city. (Both roads are possible, but you are talking about one or the other.)
    • I don’t like either option. (Neither option is good for me—this is the negative sense.)

    Analogy

    Think of “each” as being like a ticket collector who checks every single ticket one by one, while “either” is like choosing between two doors, where you can only walk through one!

    Varied Examples:

    Each:

    • Each dog has its own unique collar. (Talking about individual dogs.)
    • They gave each of us a gift. (Every person received a gift.)

    Either:

    • Either you can stay home, or you can come with us. (Choosing between two actions.)
    • I don’t like either movie. (In this case, both options are being rejected.)

    Common Mistakes:

    • Mistake: You can choose each road.
      • Correction: You can choose either road. (“Either” is correct here because you’re choosing between two roads.)
    • Mistake: Each of the two options is good.
      • Correction: Either of the two options is good. (“Either” is the right choice when you have two.)

    Practice Time!

    Fill in the blanks with each or either:

    1. ______ student must submit their homework by Friday.
    2. You can sit on ______ side of the table.
    3. I don’t like ______ of the desserts on the menu.
    4. ______ player on the team has their own locker.

    Answers:

    1. Each student must submit their homework by Friday.
    2. You can sit on either side of the table.
    3. I don’t like either of the desserts on the menu.
    4. Each player on the team has their own locker.

    Pro Tip:

    • Use “each” when you’re considering all parts of a group one by one.
    • Use “either” when you’re choosing between two options.
