:Singular quantifiers

Quantifiers include words such as all, most, many, more, some, none, few, both, 
.each, and every

every and each
We use the quantifiers every and each with singular nouns to
mean all:
Compare
Each one  takes turns cooking dinner in the
evenings.

Everyone takes turns cooking dinner in the


evenings.

Not: Almost each car …

Every one of us has a bicycle.
Not: Every of us …

streets.)

We do not use a determiner with every and each:

ٌّ‫ ُكل‬is a noun which means “each” or “every” and sometimes means “all”
depending upon the context. When ‫ كل‬is followed by an indefinite noun, it is
translated as “each” or “every.” For example, ‫ب‬ ٍ ‫ كلُّ طال‬means “each student” or
“every student.” The phrase ‫ب‬ ٍ ‫ كلُّ طال‬is an idaafa.

- ‫ب في المكتب ِة‬ ُ
ٍ ‫قرأت ك َّل كتا‬.
Here ‫ كل‬is in the accusative because it is the object of the verb.
So far, the examples using ‫ كل‬have been indefinite. When ‫ كل‬is followed by a
definite singular noun ‫ كل‬is usually translated as “all.” For example ‫ب‬
ِ ‫ كل الكتا‬means
“all of the book.”
When the word following ‫ كل‬is plural, that word is usually also definite. In this case
also ‫ كل‬is translated as “all.” For example ‫ت‬
ِ ‫“ ك ُل الطالبا‬all of the students (fem).”
‫ كلٌّ ِمن‬means “everyone of” or “each one of.” For example ُ ‫شاهدت كالً من الموظفين في‬
‫“ االجتماع‬I saw every one of the employees at the meeting.”

‫ الكل‬means “all of it” or “everyone” if it refers to people.

The way the verb is matched to the subject in terms of number (singular or plural).
