## Definition

happening every day. You use this word to describe things that occur once in every twenty-four-hour period.

For teachers: occurring or appearing every day. Typically functions as a frequency modifier within a clause.

## Pitfalls

- Not "I daily go to the gym." but "I go to the gym daily." — Adverbs of frequency that describe a specific time interval, like daily or weekly, usually sit at the end of the clause rather than before the main verb.

## Usage notes

- Frequency adverb — typically placed after the verb or at the end of the clause.
