Words / A1

EVR-eeth-ing/ˈevriθɪŋ/

All the things, with nothing missing: everything. Everything is ready uses a singular verb — is, not are. Every thing as two words is rare; write everything. Anything is for questions and no; everything is the full set.

Meaning

All things; all of it.

Examples

• “Everything is ready for the trip.”
• “He packed everything in one bag.”
• “Is everything all right?”

Good to know

everything + singular verb (is). Pair: nothing (zero things).
