Every" or All?
Hi, I just wanna ask the follwing question and your comment will be appreciated.
Which setence is more correct or both are ok:
This theory should apply to all relationships which have a smilar situation, or
This theory should apply to all relationship which has a smilar situation, or
This theory should apply to every relationship which has a smilar situation?
I understand the meaning of "every" is different from "all", but sometimes I feel that they can be used in the same situation?
cheers
