💡 THE 'EVERY' PATTERN

In this text, we see a special word: Every. We use this to talk about things that happen regularly.

Examples from the text:

  • Every 100 meters → (Distance/Space)
  • Every day → (Time)
  • Every Sunday → (Specific Day)

How to use it like a pro:

Every + Singular Noun \rightarrow Repeat action

  • Every morning \rightarrow I drink coffee.
  • Every month \rightarrow I visit my family.
  • Every page \rightarrow There is a picture.

Quick Note: Notice that we say "Every Sunday," NOT "Every Sundays." Keep the word after "every" simple and singular!
