    The document discusses the proper usage of the words "all" and "every" when used with singular and plural nouns. It states that "every" is used to express frequency or time, like "every summer." "All" is more often used with plural verbs and nouns, but can also be used with singular when referring to a totality, like "all that happened." When "all" is not followed by a relative clause, "everything" should be used instead, as in "everything is finished." Examples are provided to illustrate the correct usage of "all" and "every" in different contexts.

    Every + singular noun + singular verb forms

    Every summer we go to the beach


    ♣(we use “every” and not “all” to express frequency or time, so we don´t say “all Summers we go to the beach)
    All (of) + plural noun + plural verb forms
    All (of) the students in the class are clever
    Every student in the class is clever
    ♣ All is more often used with plural verb forms, though sometimes it is used with singular verbs. This
    happens when we are referring to all as a totality of items under consideration, when all is followed by a relative
    that clause, here is similar to everything
    All she wants now is to get back home to her parents
    All that happened was that she got on to the wrong train
    When all is not followed by a relative clause we use everything
    everything is finished.
    ♣ With uncountable nouns we only use “all” I like all music
    She was here all day ( from morning to night)
    She was here every day ( Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…)
