I am sorry, but I have a question.

[1] Every student has a schedule.
[2] Every one of the students has a schedule.

From above, is the difference of the meaning between [1] and [2] ?



And I have another question.
Can "every" and "every one of" be used with "uncountable nouns"?

For examples;

Every infromation is provided by files which ...
He had to eat every food at least once.
Every one of the infromation is sent by him.

Dear Marrion,

"Every" and "every one of" have the same meaning, but "every one of" carries more emphasis.

Neither of them can be used with non-count nouns (Uncountable nouns).

Best wishes,
