Explanation
“Every” means all members of a group considered one by one. For example, “Every student must attend class” means all students, without leaving anyone out. “Every” is a determiner (adjective), and it always describes things in single quantity but refers to all members of a group one by one. It is used with singular nouns, like “every book” or “every day”. The word shows completeness or totality in a group. It is often used in rules, general statements, or descriptions. For example, “He greets every neighbour politely.”
