✕Common Mistakes
Sí, preparo el almuerzo todos los días.
Without the reflexive pronoun the sentence means 'I prepare the lunch' for someone else, losing the self‑preparation nuance.
Sí, me preparo el almuerzo todos los día.
The noun 'día' must be plural when preceded by 'todos los'.
Sí, me preparo el almuerzo todos los días cada día.
While grammatically correct, mixing 'todos los días' with 'cada día' can sound redundant; choose one frequency expression.
