Every time vs All the time - English In A Minute - YouTube

Welcome to BBC Learning English.

I'm Sam, and today we are looking at the difference

between every time and all the time.

We use all the time to talk about something that

always or usually happens.

For example, many people think that:

In the UK, it rains all the time.

And yes, it does rain a lot.

We use every time, when we are talking about

each individual time something happens.

For example:

Every time I go to the beach, it rains.

We don't know how often I go to the beach, but

each individual time I go, it rains.

There! We hope you learn something every time

you watch one of these videos!
