The One-Word Trap
Never use `everyday` (one word) to mean 'each day'. `Everyday` is an adjective meaning 'ordinary', like `everyday shoes`.
Emphasis Trick
Add the word `single` in the middle—`every single day`—to sound more passionate or frustrated.

What It Means
Every day is your go-to phrase for habits. It means 100% frequency over a week. If you do it Monday through Sunday, you do it every day. It is simple, clear, and very common. Think of it as the heartbeat of your schedule.
How To Use It
Put every day at the end of your sentence. You can say I drink coffee every day. You can also put it at the start for emphasis. Every day, I wake up at six. Just remember to keep the words separate. Every day (two words) is the time. Everyday (one word) is an adjective for boring things. Don't mix them up or your spellcheck will cry!
When To Use It
Use it when talking about your health or work. Tell your doctor I walk every day. Tell your boss I check my emails every day. It works perfectly in text messages too. If a friend asks how often you think of pizza, every day is the honest answer. It fits into almost any conversation about time.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for things that happen once. If you went to the park on Tuesday, that is not every day. Avoid it for rare events like birthdays. Saying I have a birthday every day makes you sound like a time traveler. Also, if you mean something is 'ordinary', use the single word everyday instead.
Cultural Background
English speakers value consistency and 'the grind'. We love talking about our daily routines. Phrases like every day are part of the 'hustle culture'. It shows you are disciplined or perhaps just very busy. In small talk, we use it to find common ground. Everyone has things they must do every day.
Common Variations
You might hear daily in more formal settings. Each day sounds a bit more poetic or serious. Day in, day out is used when a routine feels boring. If you want to be intense, say every single day. That version adds a lot of drama to your habit!
Nutzungshinweise
