What's the Difference Between 'Every One' and 'Everyone'?

In this blog post we look at when to use every one and when to use everyone.

'Every One' or 'Everyone'?

"Everyone" and "every one" are often used interchangeably, but they have slightly different meanings and uses.

"Everyone" is a pronoun that means "all people." It refers to all the members of a group or all the people in a particular place.

For example: "Everyone at the party had a great time."

"Every one" is a pronoun that means "each individual member of a group." It is used to refer to each person or thing in a group separately.

For example: "Every one of the students in the class did well on the test."

In summary, "everyone" means "all people," while "every one" means "each individual member of a group."

Both words can be used to refer to people or things, but "everyone" refers to the entire group as a whole, while "every one" refers to each person or thing in the group separately.
