"He goes to work out every Sunday."

Translation: 他每个星期日都去锻炼。

[Handrisuselo]

"每个星期日" can also be put before "他".

What is 都 here for? To emphasize the action "去。。"?

[Babelaar]

To emphasize the action applies to all Sundays.

都 emphasises the 每

[hippietrail]

[Gabrielle145359]

Yes.

[Zhao-yun]

Why can't 每个星期日be at the beginning?
