Hi,

either child

He is restricted to . . . This is the only thing he can do.

He is restricted from . . . He's not allowed to do this.

Thanks again Clive, you have been very helpful.

Just want to ask we say:

Each child must do it. BUT,

Each of the children must do it.

Why they are different?

Cheers

Hi,

Just want to ask we say:

Each child must do it.'Each' is an adjective here, used only with a singular noun.

BUT,

Each of the children must do it. 'Each' is a pronoun here, followed by 'of' + a plural.
