everyday x every day

EVERYDAY is one word, and it´s an adjective. These are my everyday shoes.
EVERY DAY is two words, and "every" modifies "day". I drink tea every day.

WAY TOO - meaning
image: from here
WAY TOO - is a great way to make the noun stronger: I stayed up late (it´s a fact) // I stayed up way too late (this means "very, very late")
The coffee is way too hot.
It´s way too cold today.

Prepositions : by / for/ in/ on / at - how can we use them?
image from here
I don´t know about you, but for me, prepositions are hard to learn. At first, I used to try to understand the rules, but it was not simple. So, I decided to memorize some commonly spoken phrases that help me a lot. Of course, I still make mistakes, but fewer than before :) :) . Give it a try and tell me if it works ;).
by - mistake; accident; chance; the way; bus/train/car; day by day; step by step
for - for a walk/ dance/ drink/ swim; for breakfast/ dinner
in - fact; case; future; love; time; in the morning/ evening/ afternoon
on - television; holiday/ a trip;
at - home/work; night; present

Friends and Pottery Barn
I love this episode when Phoebe says that she hates Pottery Barn. I remember when I've watched it, I felt curious about what was Pottery Barn :) :). So, I've checked it out its website and some years later I thought: that´s one more good way to practice my vocabulary :) :) :).
There are different sections such as: furniture, rugs and windows, bedding, bath and so on. Also, there are its stunning pictures showing all the products.
I highly recommend this to improve vocabulary, by using a delightful way to learn.
