A distributive pronoun is a pronoun that refers to members of a group individually rather than collectively. It is used to distribute or assign qualities, actions, or possessions to each member of the group separately. In English, the main distributive pronouns are "each" and "every."

  1. Each: "Each" refers to every individual or item in a group separately, emphasizing the individuality of each member. For example:
    1. Each student must submit their assignment by Friday.
    2. The teacher gave each student a book.
  2. Every: "Every" is similar to "each" but is often used when referring to all members of a group collectively. It emphasizes the universality of a statement or action. For example:
    1. Every house on the street has a garden.
    2. She reads a book to her child every night.

Distributive pronouns are useful for specifying actions, attributes, or characteristics that apply to each individual within a group, rather than to the group as a whole. They help to clarify the distribution or assignment of qualities or actions among multiple entities.
