every one

The whole lot

Every one, written as two words, emphasizes each individual member of a group: Every one of the candidates was qualified.

It differs from the single word "everyone," which means all people generally.

The two-word form typically precedes "of": Every one of them showed up.

Use every one when you could substitute "each one."
