  • Hello! This week on Ask a Teacher, we will answer a question from Yuna from Japan.
  • 2
  • I would like to know the difference between "everyday" and "every day." Thank you.
  • 3
  • Dear Yuna,
  • 4
  • Thank you for emailing us. People often confuse "everyday" (one word) and "every day" (two words) because they can be used in similar ways.
  • 5
  • Let us start with the one word "everyday."
  • 6
  • We use "everyday" (one word) as an adjective to describe nouns.
  • 7
  • Its meaning is something that happens regularly, from day to day.
  • 8
  • My everyday schedule includes waking up early, going to the gym and making breakfast.
  • 9
  • In this example, "everyday" (one word) describes the schedule or the plan of activities that happen every morning.
  • 10
  • Another way we can use "everyday" as an adjective is to mean in an ordinary or usual way.
  • 11
  • He wears sneakers as his everyday shoes.
  • 12
  • In this statement, the sneakers are his usual shoes.
  • 13
  • Now let us look at the two-word form of "every day."
  • 14
  • This form is a grouping of two separate words, "every" (adjective) and "day" (noun).
  • 15
  • It means the same as the expression "each day."
  • 16
  • We use "every day" (two words) as an adverb phrase to describe verbs, other adverbs and adjectives.
  • 17
  • Compare these examples.
  • 18
  • The children go to school every day.
  • 19
  • Eating vegetables every day is important for our health.
  • 20
  • In the first example, "every day" (two words) can be replaced by "every single day", "each day" or even another expression like "every week" or "every month."
  • 21
  • In the second example, "every day" (two words) describes how often we should eat our vegetables.
  • 22
  • Please let us know if these explanations and examples have helped you, Yuna.
  • 23
  • Next week, we will answer a question from Melvin about "daily" and "everyday".
  • 24
  • If you are interested in how these expressions are similar or different, please come back next week to find out!
