SPECIAL POINTS TO MENTION

|
|
"no" is always followed by a
noun
"of" + article OR possessive,
(Never: "some of cars")
"all" + article OR possessive
(all of us, all about) but never alone: all went wrong on the trip
"each" – separate things:
study EACH sentence
Smaller numbers: EACH player has 4
cards
"every": how often:
there's a bus EVERY 10 minutes
Any/no: I haven't seen ANY
STUDENTS today./I have seen NO STUDENTS today.
