How it's used
Although 每個 is widely understood and used in speech, it carries a slightly more formal or emphatic tone compared to the purely colloquial 每一個. It is frequently used when highlighting individual members within a group, emphasizing that no one is excluded from the rule or action being described.
Examples
Every student needs to hand in homework.
Do you go swimming every week?

Common mistake
Learners often forget that 每個 must be followed by a measure word before the noun, such as 每個同學 or 每個禮拜, unlike English where 'every' directly precedes the noun.
