Let’s be honest, sometimes English can be confusing. Sometimes when learning English it is easy to mix up words or be unsure when to use them.
I often hear German speakers who are learning English make mistakes with the words ‘every day’ and ‘everyday’.
Take a look at the examples below. Hopefully they will make things clearer for you.
Every day (two words) is an adjective and a noun. It is similar to saying ‘each day’.
E.g. We have a short meeting every day at 9.30 in the morning.
I go jogging every day for at least 20 minutes.
During my holiday I went to the beach every day.
Everyday (one word) is an adjective. It has a similar meaning to ordinary, normal or usual.
E.g. Dealing with small problems is just part of everyday life.
Wear a special dress for the wedding instead of an everyday one.
Although they won money on the lottery, they did not change much in their everyday lives.
Have fun learning English!
