Ways to tell them apart:
Every day
consists of two words, emphasizing a regular daily occurrence.
Everyday
is a single word and is used to describe something ordinary or typical.
If you can replace it with
each day
and the sentence still makes sense,
every day
is the right choice.
Look for an adjective use - if it modifies a noun,
everyday
is likely correct.
Use
every day
when discussing actions or things happening regularly.
