Tip of the Week: Everyday vs. Every day

Everyday
“Everyday” is an adjective meaning “daily” or “for ordinary days.”

Examples:
Going to Starbucks is an everyday activity for Brenda. (a daily activity)

Instead of her everyday coffee, she ordered a mocha frappuccino. (instead of her coffee for ordinary days)

Every day
“Every day” is a time expression meaning “each day.”

Example:
I go to Starbucks every day. (I go to Starbucks each day.)

The bottom line:
If you can replace the expression with “each day,” use “every day.” If you can replace the expression with “daily,” use “everyday.”
