Hi,
What's the difference between "everyday" and "every day"?
Thank you very much.

In "every day", "every" is an adjective and "day" is a noun. When she was pregnant, she vomited every day.

"everyday" is an adjective, meaning something that happens every day, or very often . When she was pregnant, vomiting was an everyday occurence.

"everyday" also means 'ordinary', as in 'everyday clothes'.
