Words / A2

EVR-eew-air/ˈevriweə/

Everywhere means in every place: look everywhere, everywhere was busy, they travel everywhere. Every where as two words is wrong. Somewhere is an unspecified place; anywhere is common in questions and negatives; nowhere is none. All over is a close informal cousin. Do not use everywhere as a noun for “all places” with a (not “an everywhere”).

Meaning

In or to every place.

Examples

• “I looked everywhere for my keys.”
• “There were posters everywhere before the election.”
• “You can find that snack everywhere in this city.”

Good to know

look everywhere. Contrast: somewhere / anywhere / nowhere. Not two words.
