every day

"Everyday" is an adjective meaning "ordinary".
faisalkhanEvery one or everyone shops online. (I mean all people)
everyone

"Every one" means "all". Incidentally, I make "on line" two words there, reserving "online" for the adjective.

No. I was not asking to you enoon.

But still, I am confused about the second one.

Why is every one incorrect and everyone is correct in the second sentence?

Simply because the single word exists. When we mean "every person", we use "everyone". You can use the two words when they are called for, of course: "Everyone at the office came to the party. Every one of them came."

I think you may have read this one too fast. "all people", not "all shops".

Thanks, CJ.

You are right. Too fast, indeed.

I was concentrating on the words "every one" and 'everyone".
