About every

We went to beach every day.
There is a bus every ten minutes
On every occasion I see you, you look different. This all I quote from the grammar book. Here I feel one doubt that, Is there any need of On Every occasion?
Thank you.

Logically yes; conversationally no - but even informally it makes life easier for your audience if if you start adverbial phrases with a preposition.

Hmm I'm not sure about this... 'Every time I see her I cry' is perfectly well-formed. I'll stay tuned for some other views.

"The beach" is normal. You need an article. "A beach" if you are talking about different beaches on different days.

...and 'on every time I see her' is not acceptable in this utterance.

On every time I see you, you look different.

I think "every occasion" needs an "on." Seems to need a "when," too. On every occasion when I see you...

That's interesting: 'Every time I see you, you look different' is fine, but with 'occasion' I'd prefer the 'on'...
