Determiner

each

1. All; every; qualifying a singular noun, indicating all examples of the thing so named seen as individual or separate items (compare every).

Usage notes

• (all, every): The phrase beginning with each identifies a set of items wherein the words following each identify the individual elements by their shared characteristics. The phrase is grammatically singular in number, so if the phrase is the subject of a sentence, its verb is conjugated into a third-person singular form. Similarly, any pronouns that refer to the noun phrase are singular:

  Each candidate has 49 votes.

  Each voter must decide for herself.
