(2) "Everyone of them was wearing a silver badge in the shape of what seemed to be a crown." (made-up sentence with: everyone)

What are the differences between these two sentences? Thus, What are the differences generally?

Thanks in advance.

Your self-made sentence should be like this “ Everyone was wearing a silver badge in the shape of what seemed to be a crown”. '). Use 'every one' when you are talking about the collection of each individual person or thing (I bought a package of potato chips and every one was broken').

Hi,
The difference is that every one of them is correct; everyone of them is incorrect.

These are correct (assuming they fit the appropriate context): each of, each one of and every one of.

Everyone is a single word that means all people.
