### Ognuno and Ciascuno

When you want to talk about every individual in a group, you will use the indefinite pronouns **ognuno** and **ciascuno**. Both translate to "everyone" or "each one." Because they single out individuals, they always take a third-person singular verb.

### Ognuno (Everyone)

**Ognuno** is used exclusively to refer to people. 

{{item:815465}}

{{item:815474}}

### Ciascuno (Each one)

**Ciascuno** can refer to people or things. When talking about people, it is largely interchangeable with *ognuno*, though it can place a slightly stronger focus on the individual ("each single one").

{{item:815473}}

{{item:815482}}

### Each of...

To specify the group you are talking about, use the preposition **di** (of) immediately after the pronoun. 

{{item:815470}}

Notice that even though the group (*loro*) is plural, the subject of the sentence is still "each one," so the verb remains singular. 

When identifying the group with a specific noun rather than a pronoun, remember to combine *di* with the definite article (for example, *di* + *i* = *dei*).
