MIND YOUR ENGLISH

            Everyday vs Every day


Everyday and every day are commonly confused in English. There’s no difference in pronunciation, but using the wrong one when writing is a mistake in the everyday English you use every day.

Everyday
Everyday is an adjective that means commonplace, ordinary, or normal.

Examples
  1. Dumso-dumso is an everyday occurrence in Ghana
  2. These shoes are great for everyday wear.
  3. You shouldn't wear an everyday outfit to the wedding.



Every day

Every day means "each day."
Examples
  • Mr. Abotsi goes to the school every day.
  • I have to work every day this week except Friday.
  • Every day I feel a little better.
