Ways to tell them apart:
- Though both all of and each of involve aspects of a group, they focus differently: all of refers to the whole group collectively, while each of refers to it individually.
- Use all of when talking about the group as a single entity, without focusing on individual elements.
- When using each of, think about separating individual elements from the group.
- If you can count each item separately, each of might be more appropriate.
- In situations where all items must be considered together, all of is often the better choice.
