每…都 (every ... all) — Chinese grammar (HSK 2)
每 + Measure word / Time word + (Noun) + 都 + Verb
每 (měi) means "every" and is followed by a measure word or a time unit: 每个人, 每年, 每天, 每个星期. Chinese almost always adds 都 (all) before the verb to reinforce it, even though English says only "every". Think of 每…都 as a fixed pair.
