Lesson

Every (每…都)

1. Explain it simply

The pattern is 每 + (measure word) + noun/time, then Subject + 都 + verb.

每天 and 每年 take no 个, but 每个星期, 每个月, and 每个人 do.

都 goes right before the verb, never at the end.

2. Show examples

我每天都跑步。

Wǒ měi tiān dōu pǎobù.

I run every day.

每天 + 都

每个人都知道。

Měi gè rén dōu zhīdào.

Everyone knows.

每个人 takes 个

他每个星期都去医院。

Tā měi gè xīngqī dōu qù yīyuàn.

He goes to the hospital every week.

都 before the verb

3. Share a tip

每 almost always pairs with 都 — and 都 comes right before the verb, not at the end.
