The difference between everyday and every day. Everyday is an adjective so it goes before the noun it describes. Everyday = ordinary, regular, normal or commonplace. It can refer to something done or used daily or routinely. 🔹You should wear an elegant dress for the wedding, not just an everyday one. 🔹Even though he has won some money, it hasn't changed his everyday life. 🔹Some everyday activities damage the environment. 🔹Why do you always use those big words that are not common in everyday language? Every day is a phrase that usually acts as an adverb. Every day = all of the days or each day over a period of time. It can also mean very regularly. 🔸You've been wearing that same shirt every day this week. You need to change it! 🔸You should take a shower every day. 🔸Low prices, every day! (A sign in a shop) 🔸Woodward English publishes new material on Twitter every day. @ingliztiliuzz
