Number 1 essentially implies that you, and you alone are the sole person who eats apples. Number 2 states that the sole food you eat is apples. Number 3 and 4 essentially mean the same thing as number 2, and that is that you only eat apples.

  • Hello, Jilly. This question should not be answered as it has been asked before and shows no research; Clare had already pointed this out. // You fail to distinguish count (an apple) and non-count (the foodstuff apple); admittedly OP probably didn't intend this complication. / (2) is ambiguous, with at least three possible readings. – Edwin Ashworth Oct 30 '17 at 10:40
