Every day vs. Everyday

You can do it !

Every day (as two separate words ) is completely different from everyday (as one word).

Let's have a look at the following sentences to understand WHEN and WHERE to use these two words; every day and everyday:

1 - My friends and I go to the cinema Every day. 

2 - Going to the cinema is an everyday activity. 

As we see, in the first sentence Every day is used to mean each day while in the second sentence everyday was used to mean daily.

SoEvery day is an adverbial phrase of time used to show that the action happens each day. Everyday, on the other hand functions as an adjective that describes a noun.

Examples: 

1.    The weather forecast calls for rain every day of this week. ( adverbial phrase )

2.    Everyday occurrences don't upset Joe much.(adjective )

3.    I see him every day on my way to work. ( adverbial phrase )

4.    This is not unusual; it's part of her everyday routine. (adjective )

5.    She follows the same routine every day.( adverbial phrase )
