Is this sentence correct?
I go to the church once everyday.
It might sound correct to you but it's actually incorrect. The correct sentence will read:
I go to the church once every day.
So what's the difference between 'everyday' and 'every day'?
'Everyday' is an adjective meaning 'ordinary' or 'commonplace'. An adjective, in case you've forgotten, is a word that modifies a noun. Eg. 'everyday occurrence', 'everyday people', etc.
'Every day' is an adverbial phrase that tells us how often something takes place. An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies a verb (most of the time).
To Sum it Up
- Use 'Everyday' if you are implying 'ordinary' or 'commonplace'.
- Use 'Every day' if you are implying that 'something happens every day'.
