1Hello! This week on Ask a Teacher, we answer a question about "daily" and compare it to last week's Ask a Teacher question.
2We will answer a question from Malvin, a visitor to our website.

4Thanks.
5Dear Malvin,
6Thank you for writing to us! Last week, we answered Yuna's question about "everyday" and "every day."
7This week we look at the difference between those words and the word "daily."
8"Daily" can be used as an adjective or an adverb.
9As an adjective, it means happening regularly or day to day.
10"Daily" can be a synonym for "everyday" (one word).
11Last week, we learned that the word "everyday" (one word) describes regular events.
12My everyday schedule includes waking up early, going to the gym and making breakfast.
13So, we can exchange "everyday" (one word) for "daily" in this statement.
14My daily schedule includes waking up early, going to the gym and making breakfast.
15But we cannot use "daily" in place of "everyday" (one word) when it means common or usual.
16"Daily" can also be an adverb.
17When used this way, "daily" can take the place of "every day" (two words).
18Here are some different examples comparing "daily" to "every day" (two words).
19I listen to music every day.
20Getting enough sleep every day can help our memory.
21Getting enough sleep daily can help our memory.
22In both sets of examples, "daily" can be exchanged for "every day" (two words) because it is used as an adverb.
23It also describes how often events, activities or usual things happen.
24You can use "daily" like "everyday" (one word) as an adjective to describe something that happens day to day.
25You can also use "daily" as an adverb to describe how often something happens.
26Please let us know if these explanations and examples have helped you, Malvin!
