Avoid These Mistakes When Using Todos Los Días
Forgetting the article los
Incorrect: Estudio español todos días.
Correct: Estudio español todos los días.
The phrase requires the article los between todos and días — omitting it is grammatically incorrect.
Confusing cada día with todavía
Incorrect: Todavía voy al gimnasio. (meaning every day)
Correct: Cada día voy al gimnasio.
Todavía means 'still' or 'yet,' not 'every day' — cada día or todos los días is needed for daily frequency.
