LESSON 4: КАЖДЫЙ

The word ‘каждый’ means ‘each’ or ‘every’. It’s used to talk about all people or things one by one or about regular repetition. The adjective ‘каждый’ agrees with the noun in gender, number and case. 

 

1) ‘Каждый’ when expressing time

For example:

  • каждый день – every day
  • каждый год – every year
  • каждую неделю – every week
  • каждое утро – every morning

 

NOTE!

These time expressions answer the question “when?” and are used in the Accusative case. That is why ‘every week’ is expressed as ‘каждую неделю’.

Listen to the audio & read the examples: 

1. Мы ездим на море каждый год.
We go to the sea every year.

2. Он читает новости каждое утро.
He reads the news every morning.

3. Мы встречаемся каждую неделю.

4. Этот фильм очень грустный. Я каждый раз плачу, когда его смотрю.
