About "each of"
I want to know the different meaning between both following sentences.
1. I inserted each of bolts into each of sockets.
2. I inserted each of bolts into one of sockets.
1. I inserted each of bolts into each of sockets.
2. I inserted each of bolts into one of sockets.
Top answer
Neither of these sentences is quite right. 1) I inserted each of bolts into each of sockets would suggest that you had the same number of bolts and sockets and inserted one bolt into each socket. If you said I inserted a bolt into each socket it would get the point across.
