Grammar
We are all in love
Which are correct:
1) There is someone we are all in love with.
2) There is someone all of us are in love with.
3) There is someone we are each in love with.
4) There is someone each of us is in love with.
5) There is someone every one of us is in love with.
In which case:
a) We are all in love with the same person
and in which case
b) We are each in love with a different person.
I think '1', '2' and '3' and '5' correspond to 'a'; '4' is ambiguous.
Gratefully,
Navi.

The way to tell with this one is if it's speaking of general principles it will mean b, if it's speaking knowingly of the present situation it will mean a. d
