The difference between “everyday” and “every day” is quite simple, and there is an easy rule of thumb which you can use to determine which phrase would be suitable. In short, “everyday” is an adjective which describes something ordinary or commonplace, while the phrase “every day” means “each day.” Confusing these two is a very common grammatical error, and learning to catch this error can improve the quality of your writing immensely
These are two words that are often confused by people. When used as two words, it means daily. Here are a few examples.
* Why should I have a bath every day?
* There's no need for you to call him every day.
* The children play tennis every day.
"Everyday", on the other hand, is normally used as an adjective. It is used to mean common or ordinary. Here are a few examples.
* Traffic is an everyday problem in our city.
* These are my everyday clothes.
* Sweeping, dusting, and mopping are part of her everyday routine.
