How it works
The term '逐一' is an adverb used to indicate that an action is performed on items or people one by one, sequentially, and without omission. it is commonly used in formal or written contexts to emphasize thoroughness and attention to detail.
Examples

Common mistakes
Do not confuse '逐一' with '一个个'. While both mean 'one by one', '逐一' is much more formal and usually implies a systematic review or checking process.
Tip
Think of '逐' as 'following' or 'pursuing'. It appears in other sequential HSK terms like '逐渐' (gradually) and '逐步' (step by step).
