Ways to tell them apart:
- Each is used to refer to individual items in a group, while each of implies considering a subset of a whole set.
- You use each by itself before a singular noun, but each of must be followed by a determiner and a plural noun or pronoun.
- Each can stand alone as a pronoun, but each of needs additional elements to complete the thought.
- Remember that each implies a single item, whereas each of involves multiple items being considered.
- When breaking down a list, each comes before singular elements, but each of would need a list and works with plural forms.
