    'He waits for me at his office daily/everyday'.

    I'm not a teacher yet, but I am studying a Bachelor of Education with an English Literature major at Charles Sturt University, in NSW, Australia.

    You have been around long enough to know that we like more helpful titles than 'Grammar', diplomacy. 'He waits me daily?' would have been fine for this.

    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
    If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.

    Two words - 'every day'.

    'Daily' is not very natural here, in my opinion.
