  1. Using quantifiers in English - a guide

    Quantifiers are a type of determiner which denote imprecise quantity. They modify nouns or pronouns. They differ from numbers or numerals which indicate precise quantity.
    1. Each and Every

      Each and every (like all and whole) are quantifiers, and as such they are a form of determiner. Each and every have very similar meanings, but there are important differences of meaning and usage.
    2. All and whole

      All and whole are quantifiers, and as such they are a form of determiner. They express totality or completeness. Sometimes one can choose either of them; but there are major differences in their usage, and all and whole are not always interchangeable
