Hi teachers,

Please see the following:

My brother and I each have our own room.
My brother and I all have our own room.

What is the difference between the two?

Thanks in advance

Ho,

Your sentences:
Quote:
My brother and I each have our own room
. This means each one of the two of us -'both'
Quote:
My brother and I all have our own room.
This would not work because 'all' would only be used for at least more than two.
