Good morning everyone,

When you write "routine" in the singular, do you describe one regular activity only, or can they be more = have breakfast, jog, take a shower...

What about "daily routines"?

Thanks

A routine may incorporate (include) many different activities. A single routine may refer to getting dressed, then eating breakfast, then brushing your teeth, then brushing your hair, then going to school.

Routines in the plural form may refer to multiple activities that you may not do together all the time. For example, you may have one class three days per week and another class five days per week. You would have different daily routines on different days since you would have two classes three days per week and one class two days per week.
