Everyday or every day?

100% accuracy. Piece of cake ;)

marcinowski

thanks. i used to make that mistake every

geliba

It is not just how they sound; it’s their spelling and function in the context what really counts.

I promise to keep in mind this everyday grammar tip every day (Does this make some sense to you? Hope so.)

Regino

Thanks Adam, I used to make these mistakes every day but not anymore.

I love this website!!! :)

Thank you

ariunbolor

Thanks dear lovely sir ADAM. You know i can’t tell you how much lovely you look. Your lessons are not only clear but very useful also.
Well, would you please answer my few questions:
My questions are following:
1- HOW DO NATIVE PEOPLE USE ‘ALL THE WAY’ IN
ENGLISH AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHY DO
THEY USE IT?
2- HOW CAN I MAKE MY LISTENING STRONG?

HOPE YOU’LL ANSWER ME.
THANKING YOU!

sona123

Hi Sonu,

“All the way” usually means completely, or to the end. So, if someone says, “I’m with you all the way” it could mean I agree completely, or I’ll be by your side all the time. Of course, it depends on the context. It’s an idiom, but also has slang meanings, such as having sex. You might see in movies a guy say he went ‘all the way’ with a girl, it means they had sex.

Mostly the context should tell you the meaning.

As for listening, it’s really just practice. But you can try dictation (write what you hear). Another way is to watch movies with English subtitles (captions) then watch again without the captions, since you already know the story, now you can concentrate on listening.
Hope that helps :)

Adam

Your answer to question number two is very very useful. Thanks. i will try to do it every day.

ruslannomone

you too

saidovich

Wow, I actually never thought that there’s a difference between everyday and every day
So is there any difference between every time and everytime as well, you’re a great teacher. Thank you :)

Rey

Hi Flawless,

Good question, but we don’t use everytime, only every time. there is a difference though between sometime and some time (and some times). I have a lesson on that here at engvid.

Adam

Thank you very much for this interesting lesson. Engvid helps me to perfect myEnglish

vilainpetitcrapaud

What does “Can’t Seem” mean? Does it have the same meaning as Can’t?
exemple: I just can’t seem to understand….
I jus’t can’t seem to get out…..

I also would like to know how to use “Whatsoever”.
Thanks

henry19

Hi Henrique,

‘can’t seem to’ basically means can’t, but people don’t like to say they can’t do something so they “soften” it with the seem to.

Whatsoever, means whatever, and is used to emphasize. For example, if I say ” I have no doubt whatsoever” it means I have no doubt at all. i am very sure.

Does that help?

Adam

Can you tell me if this sentence is correct?
‘In the first half English players seemed to overweigh tackling in every given chance’.

dancingqueen

Hi Dancingqueen,

To be honest, I’m not that familiar with football, or rugby so not completely sure what you’re trying to say. Anyway, I’ll do my best:

‘In the first half, the English players seemed to overweigh(overcome?) tackling at every given chance’

Does that help?

Adam

Love your lessons sir.I joined the engvid so late.
Thanks for the lesson ,sir.

Raghav Bisht

crayong

“Every day” or “everyday”? Hmmm, “daily” should be good. xD

Some questions, of course. :)
1. When we use “”, and we want to, for example, finish a sentence, do we put a comma in or out the quotation marks? — Something “here.” or Something “here”.
2. Do we use any preposition in “How do you say” or “What do you call”? For example: “How do you say on this?”
3. Adam, you said once that you would create a vid about “if” and “unless” — any news about it? :)
4. Is there any difference between “my friend” and “friend of mine”? Can we use them interchangeably?
5. I saw some sentences like those: “First thing you do is create the volume”, “All you have to do here is copy the container”. I’m asking about: “is create” and “is copy” — Is it possible to use “to” after “is”? — “is to create”, “is to copy”, or maybe both are good?

6. Back to my question from the previous vid — “million and millions”. I’m actually wondering if “of” is used only with plural form, for example: “One million people live here” and “Millions of people live here” — we can’t say “one million of people live here”, right?

morfik

Hi there,

Hope everything’s okay with u;
Useful queries n I do agree with ur NO. 1 n 6.

I’m really loooking 4ward 2 having the response.

:) Gooodluck!

fatiima8

Of course, in the first question, there should be period instead of comma — end a sentence with a comma, that’s a good one! xD But this question also concerns other marks like: . , !

morfik

Hi Morfik,

1. Something “here.”-American or Something “here”.- British/Canadian. A lot depends on what is happening with the sentence itself. I would need a few pages to get into it completely. Best advice: follow the style guide used where you are submitting written work. Chicago Manual of Style, MLA, APA, etc.
2.“How do you say ‘hello’ in Polish?” or “What do you call this thing in Chinese?” Don’t need a prep unless you are asking about the prep.
3. Adam, you said once that you would create a vid about “if” and “unless” — any news about it? :) Actually, it’s coming soon-already recorded :)
4. Is there any difference between “my friend” and “a friend of mine”? Can we use them interchangeably? Generally speaking, yes they are interchangeable. It just changes the focus a bit. “Who’s that?” “My friend.” “A friend of mine.” The first would suggest a more intimate friendship (subtle, but there)
5. I saw some sentences like those: “First thing you do is create the volume”, “All you have to do here is copy the container”. I’m asking about: “is create” and “is copy” — Is it possible to use “to” after “is”? — “is to create”, “is to copy”, or maybe both are good?
You can use ‘to’ but like most English writing, why use it if you don’t have to? Shorter is generally better.
6. Back to my question from the previous vid — “million and millions”. I’m actually wondering if “of” is used only with plural form, for example: “One million people live here” and “Millions of people live here” — we can’t say “one million of people live here”, right? Right. remember that in the the first example, million is an adjective, while in the second it’s a noun.

Adam

Thanks for the answers! :)

morfik

thank you adam

kingmadi

Thanks Adam for this lesson.

hugocyrus21

Thanks Adam, I’ve got 10/10. but i have a question please.
Is it correct to use (daily) instead of (everyday)?for example (daily life)instead of (everyday life).
Thank you kindly.

kanaan13

Hi Kanaan13,

Usually these words are interchangeable, but keep in mind that daily actually means every day, more than everyday. But it depends on your lifestyle too. If your life is pretty much the same all the time, then you can use daily life to mean common.

Does that help?

Adam

Excellent! explanation.
Thank you Adam

marielay

Thank you adam !

anhtuankc2

Definitely it wasn’t an everyday lesson, and I like watching engvid videos every day. Thank you. I really didn’t noticed the difference between those words yet.

claudiarejaneo

I mean “I didn’t have noticed the difference Between those words before”.

claudiarejaneo

I’m not sure that was so interesting for me, sorry about that but thanks a bundle anyway.
I do not understand why a solar eclipse can be an everyday event. It occurs several times every year.

bonhob

Hi Bonhoff,

Fair enough. Thank you.

As for solar eclipse, it may occur often, but it’s not every day that you see one, I think. :)

Adam

I got a wrong answer in this question,too. You’re right,Mr. Adam. I just focuses on the grammar, not the meaning.^~^

Hoai Tran

Thank you Adam , simple, short and easy lesson .

roya9069

Hi Roya. You have decided to learn , so don’t worry you can ! Best regards

Soei

Small points but very important ones ! Thanks teacher for your good choices.

Soei

Adam everything about this lesson is very clear. Thank you. But I have some questions if it is not problem to you please give me answer.
1. is it very bad and awful if you miss article “a” sometimes when you talk? (is it happening in english songs?)
2. is it correct if I’ll say “We’ve got new president”?(after elections)
3. In the movie”The grifters”(1990) we have the scene in the morgue(time line 01.31.14):
the policeman: That’s it, then.
– Year.
Roy: That’s that
(What does it mean?)
4. If you are not very busy, give me answer about “Match point” which I gave you in the last lesson.(my name Ruslan)
Thank You! Have a good day now.

ruslannomone

5. Adam in classical books, I often meet “WAS TO (BE)”. Whether it equal “OUGHT TO”?

ruslannomone

6. Can I say(is it correct?)-“I may would have to see it”(I must to have a look at it(may be, but I wish). Thank you.

ruslannomone

Hi Ruslannomone

1. In speech you can get away with many grammar errors, including missing the ‘a’. Do keep in mind though, that many times it might sound like it’s not there, but it just gets mixed into the speech. Thanks a lot might sounds like than ksalot, so the ‘a’ might not be noticed.
2. Sounds ok, but ahain, the ‘a’ would be blended in there: we’ve gotanew President.
3. That’s that- means there is nothing more to say/do.
4. I’ll look this up and get back to you :)
5. was to be is a little old-fashioned English. It means was supposed to be, or ought to have been.

Adam

:)
I saw the scene in Match Point. yes, it is the accent that gives her away. He knows she’s not British. She could be Canadian, but most people will guess American first :)

Adam

I had read about using “a” many times though, but I couldn’t very clear understand it. Especially it’s hard in speech, when you keep talking fast(I hope make it through reading). THANK YOU ADAM!

ruslannomone

Ohh yeah!

I got 100 (:

learning, learning, learnign every day (:

Thanks

giselymarrufo

Adam. look at the last quiz:

If you practice every day, speaking English will seem like an everyday activity.

You marked this sentence as “correct”.
But it isn’t.

Statement “if” doesn’t conform with “will”

stanv

Hi Stanv

Not really sure what you mean. If + present verb suggests a real conditional, so ‘will’ is ok.

let me know

Adam

Wonderful !! Thank you

albertoghezzi

Yay! 100 isn’t an everyday score for me, but I’m as glad as if it were happening every day.

Dear Mr. Adam.
Since the first video you made in ENGVID.COM,
I have excepected you to make a video about syllables stress / accented syllables.Because
I have a problem with the pronunciations.I would like to know which syllable in the word
should be stress and which should be reduced.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Hi aateffaeq7,

I’ll try to get to that soon. In the meantime, a good dictionary will show you where to put the stress on syllables.

Good luck :)

betengana

I got 90%, one way I could know which one to put would be simply to replace the “everyday” by run of the mill expression. If it applies, then it’s everyday that I should write, is this correct Adam?

should

Hi Should,

Generally speaking, I’d say yes. :

Adam

thank you for your best explanation. “not unusual=usual” right?

elektrikchi

more or less :)

Adam

“A full solar eclipse [when the moon hides the sun] is an everyday event.”

is it true or false?
I said true but you website don’t agree with me:))
What is your idea?

elektrikchi

Hi Elektrikchi,

Well, in canada it’s not something you see often, maybe once every few years, so it’s prett rare. How about where you live?

Adam

Hey Adam!
I liked your lesson very much.It was explained well.
However could you explain me the difference in the meanings of the 3 words you used:
Casual
Common
Not unusual
My doubt may be silly…

utkarshjain

Hi Utkarsh,

Not unusual and common are similar in meaning. Casual, means relaxed, not formal.

Does that help?

Adam

Hi teacher Adam,

Your help is so precious to the improvement of my English. Thank you so much !

I did a mistake. Which is correct ?
Is there any difference between these two sentences ?

nagarjuna.sb

I like this quiz, I have felt to learn every day.

Napoleonra

Thanks,Adam!

Natalia@

A doubt here, Adam.

This word, “everyday”, reminds me of Jon Bon Jovi’s song “Everyday”. He says he will “live his life everyday”.

It doesn’t sound to me as an adjective, but an adverb of frequency. He wants to live his life “every day”.

Is Bon Jovi’s wrong? Or is there an exception there?

rodrigocapelo

Sir Adam, why question 3 is false.
Is it right,everyday is adj? Plz explain me. Thank you, Adam.

Thazin Moe Moe Aung

Hey Adam! Just finished your video with a question from that sentence you wrote ” I read the newspaper every day, but it’s mostly filled with the same stories about politicians and the economy”. It’s always confused for me to understand how and when use “the” before the nouns. In this very case, could I drop it and say “about politicians and economy”? Thank you for your time :)
