My question is >>
Are these sentence correct? If yes, does Every day here function as noun?
Every day passes is from our lifetime
Every day brings new hope
If you can substitute 'each day' in place of 'every day', 'every day' is correct.
So every day is appropriate in your sentences.
I would rewrite the first sentence "Every day passes...", but at the moment I have no idea how. :roll:

....in our everyday life.
He comes here every day.
Re: every day vs. everyday
There is nothing wrong with 'every day' in the sentence
Every day passes is from our lifetime
But I think the sentence as such is incorrect.
What do our native speakers think?

EVERYDAY (one word) -adj.qualifiesthe word LIFE.
EVERY DAY(two words)...EVERY-adj.qualifies the word 'DAY'.
EVERYDAY occurrence...(one word)
EVERY DAY--EVERY DAY somebody dies.(two words)
Re: every day vs. everyday
Sorry, I don't mean to be impatient. :oops:
I'm agonising over the sentence below, the part in the bracketts.
It sounds odd to me, as if something/some word is missing. Is the sentence correct or not?
Every day (passes is from our lifetime)
I would appreciate it if a native speaker could help here.:-)

I'm so sorry, I somehow must have rushed past this post.

You were quite right to suggest that something wasn't quite right :-D
so possibly
Every day that (passes is one taken from the rest of our life/lives)
There is a nice quote from Seneca
One should count each day a separate life.
hope this helps. :-D
Re: every day vs. everyday
Many thanks, bea.:-D
You have just put me out of my misery. ;-):-D What a wonderful feeling!! ;-)
Another tiny little question:
why did you change 'is missing' to 'was missing'?
Thank you!!

Sorry,my mistake,I was probably just too focused on the aspect of what the situation seemed to be like
as if something/some word is missing would be fine with me
:-D
Re: every day vs. everyday
So both are ok.
Thank you. :-D
