878 - Saturday Short – Everyday vs. Ever...

Michael DiGiacomo Happy English
About this episode
Hey there! It’s Michael here — and welcome back to another Happy English Saturday Short, your quick tip for speaking English better.
 
Today’s point is one that even native speakers sometimes get mixed up: 👉 everyday which is one word vs. every day which is two words. Here’s the deal:

Everyday (which is one word) is an adjective. It means “common” or “ordinary.” Like, Having a cup of green tea is part of my everyday routine.  Or These sneakers are my everyday shoes. Your everyday something is common or usual for you. 

On the other hand, every day (which is two words) means “each day.” For example: I drink coffee every day. Or Meg goes for a jog every day before work. So, when something happens each day, it is an every day (that’s two words) activity.
