In the Rapidex English Speaking Course, Grammar Lesson 19 focuses on Adjectives, specifically Distributive Adjectives in Part 9.

Distributive Adjectives are used to refer to individual members within a group, emphasizing them separately. Common distributive adjectives include:

• Each: Refers to every individual item or person in a group.

  • Example: “Each student received a certificate.”

• Every: Similar to ‘each’, but often used when referring to three or more items.

  • Example: “Every participant must register before the event.”

• Either: Indicates one or the other of two choices.

  • Example: “You can choose either method to solve the problem.”

• Neither: Denotes not one nor the other of two.

  • Example: “Neither option seems suitable.”

Usage Tips:

• Each and every are generally followed by singular nouns and verbs.

  • Example: “Each employee has a unique ID.”

• Either and neither are used when discussing two items or choices.

  • Example: “Neither answer is correct.”

For a comprehensive understanding and practical exercises on distributive adjectives, you can refer to the Rapidex English Speaking Course book. Additionally, online resources like Diznr International provide detailed explanations and examples.
