"I work out every single day."

Translation: 我每天都锻炼。

[SarahDeLaF]

Can't the subject (我) go after the time (每天都)? I was marked wrong for "每天都我锻炼."

[kalexchu]

Native speaker here. The other possible order is "每天我都锻炼." The emphasis is slightly different however: "I work out every day." vs "Every day, I work out."

I believe the 都 needs to be right before the verb (or 不+verb, etc.) when used in for this meaning.

[Lukas620883]

I also thought that this would be correct

[Soy_Jaguar]

I did this as well, I'm not sure why it's been marked incorrect

[hippietrail]

This seems to be teaching me that a 都 following a 每 changes it from "every" to "every single". Great tip thanks Duo!

[NasuSamaruk0]

Yes. Without 都, the translated sentence has more generic meaning, which suggests

I work out every day.

instead of

I work out every single day.

Sentences without 都 suggest indefinite occurrence (it is possible that for some days this event does not occur), whereas sentences with 都 clearly demonstrates definite occurrence (every day this event occurs).

She works out too much

[Jonny499474]

I got marked wrong for this: 每天我都锻炼. I thought the subject could go either side of the time?

[hippietrail]

The subject can go either side of the time, but in this case 都 is part of the time.

[MatthewEpp5]

Just wondering, are "to exercise" and "to work out" basically synonyms?
I put 我每天都_运动_。Can I use "运动" in this sentence?

[Aprilharian]

i was wondering the same thing here.

[rianwardana]

Is 我每天都做锻炼 also correct? Native speaker please feel free to give comments, thanks
