Cada refers to members of a group individually or to repeated occasions.
The idea
Cada has the same form for masculine and feminine nouns. It normally precedes a singular noun; a subject built with it takes a singular verb.
Examples
- Cada estudiante tiene una llave.Each student has a key.
- Cada mañana preparo café.Every morning I make coffee.
- Cada mesa necesita una lámpara.Each table needs a lamp.
- Cada vecino trae un plato.Each neighbor brings a dish.
- Cada puerta tiene un número.Each door has a number.
- Cada semana visitamos el mercado.Every week we visit the market.
