Dear,friends!
I address this question to native speakers. What is a correct answer? Each football player must run fast or Every football player should run fast??? Help me out, please. |

"Each" refers to the individuals. "Every" refers to all of them as a group/category. Both are grammatically correct, but only "Every" really works.
Every football player should be a fast runner, so each player on the team has to demonstrate his speed before the season starts.

Thank you, Bruce.
So we may use each when we want to separate an object and every for generalization,correct???? But, will it be a rough mistake if we use both??? |

Just because I feel like trolling... you can also say, "All football players should run fast." |
