Can you believe that so many people make this mistake and not even realize there's actually a difference between "every day" and "everyday"? Because the pronunciation is similar, knowing which one to use in writing can sometimes become a challenge.

But don't worry, it's not so difficult once you know some tips!

The English Student, www.theenglishstudent.com, English Student, everyday vs every day, whats the difference between every day and everyday, every day or everyday, ESL website, ESL blog, ESL teaching ideas, what is an adverbial phrase, what is an adjective, difference between adverbial phrase and adjective
An easy way to remember this is to think of "every day" as the same as "each day." Every time you're stuck on which one to use, simply consider if "each day" would work in the sentence.

For example, "This is my each day lunch" would not work in the sentence, therefore, we know it must not be "every day" and should be "everyday."

You will also notice in the sentence above that the word "lunch" is a noun. That also immediately tells us we should use the adjective "everyday" to describe the noun.

Try these sentences below. Remember, try inserting "each day" first. Does it make sense? If yes, use "every day." Is there a noun after it? If yes, use "everyday."

(1)
What should I do? I'm so hungry ______________.
(2) This is my ___________ life at work.
(3) Should I go swimming ____________ next week?
(4) ___________ is a new day.
(5)
My _________ hairstyle is very boring.

Answers: (1) every day, (2) everyday, (3) every day, (4) Every day, (5) everyday
