Not only is it tricky for new learners but native English speakers are also likely to use "everyday" incorrectly.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000;">Everyday as a single word is an adjective (a descriptor) — it means ordinary or commonplace. Every day — two different words — means "each day."</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">Comparison chart</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">Every Day versus Everyday comparison chart</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">Edit this comparison chart Every Day Everyday</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">Meaning Each day ordinary, commonplace, routinely used, typical</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">Example I exercise every day to stay physically fit.

After all, if it's something that occurs daily shouldn't you say "every day occurrence"? The answer is No.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000;">An "everyday occurrence" — somewhat confusingly — does not necessarily mean it occurs every day. It only means means it's an ordinary, commonplace occurrence. It is not something unusual. Remember that everyday is an adjective. So it describes an attribute (ordinariness) of the occurrence.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000;">If something occurs daily, you can say it "occurs every day" or that it is a daily occurrence. "Every day occurrence" is wrong usage. Since "every day" is an adverb, it cannot be used as an adjective to describe the occurrence.</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000;">Everyday Life</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #000000;">Another common usage of "everyday" is the phrase "everyday lives". Synonyms for that are "day-to-day lives", "daily lives" or "routine", and it refers to how people typically think and act in life on most days. Note that "every day life" is incorrect.</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">References</span></p><p> </p>
