How to study 每 in context

  1. Say měi, then recall the core meaning: each, every.
  2. Write all 7 strokes while keeping the top-bottom balanced.
  3. Use it in 每个 (měi gè), meaning “each”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 每 works in that context.
