Kittixay1. Yesterday, I washed my motorbike and cleaned all the windows in my house.
2. I go to school everyday. (Why don't we use go to the school?)
Before I forget, everyday is an adjective. I think you mean every day. BTW, to turn everyday into a noun, use 'the everyday'.

The phrase 'go to school' is a task. There is no need for 'the'. We use 'the school' as in: "Did you figure out how to get to the school?" (i.e. the specifc school to get to).
