Common Mistakes

  • Ja, ich gehe jeder Tag spazieren.

    The time expression must be in the accusative case: 'jeden Tag'.

  • Ja, ich gehe jeden Tag zu spazieren.

    Do not add a preposition before the infinitive; 'gehen' already governs the infinitive directly.

  • Ja, ich gehe spazieren jeden Tag.

    Word order is flexible, but the most natural placement is the time phrase before the infinitive.

Alternatives

  • Ja, ich gehe täglich spazieren.

    Yes, I walk daily.

  • Ja, ich mache jeden Tag einen Spaziergang.

    Yes, I take a walk every day.

  • Ja, ich spaziere jeden Tag.

    Yes, I walk every day.

Cultural Tip

In German‑speaking countries a daily walk (Spaziergang) is a typical habit, especially in cities with well‑maintained parks and green belts. The phrase 'spazieren gehen' is interchangeable with 'spazieren' alone, but the former sounds a bit more colloquial. Remember that 'spazieren' can also be used as a full verb: 'Ich spaziere jeden Tag.'
