✕Common Mistakes
Sì, preparo il mio pranzo tutti i giorno.
‘Giorno’ must be plural ‘giorni’ because the phrase means ‘every day’ (all the days).
Sì, preparo il mio pranzo tutti i giorni.
The verb ‘preparo’ already implies a habit; adding ‘tutti i giorni’ is correct, but some learners mistakenly use ‘ogni giorno’ without the article.
Si, preparo il mio pranzo tutti i giorni.
Avoid using ‘si’ (reflexive pronoun) instead of ‘Sì’ (yes).

Cultural Tip
In Italy it’s common for students and office workers to bring a homemade ‘pranzo al sacco’ (packed lunch). Preparing it yourself lets you control portions, save money, and enjoy regional dishes that might not be available in a cafeteria.
