Daily Routines

Daily routines vocabulary covers common verbs, nouns and phrases used to describe everyday activities at home and at work. Learning these words helps you talk about your schedule, explain habits, and describe a typical workday — useful for workplace conversations and TOEIC tasks.

• Focus on common actions: wake up, commute, check emails, attend meetings.
• Learn collocations and prepositions: commute by car, attend a meeting.
• Practice using simple present to describe routines in professional contexts.

Daily routine vocabulary often appears in common collocations and fixed expressions. Pay attention to verb + object and prepositions.

• Use correct verb forms in the simple present for routines (I check, he checks).
• Common collocations: commute by (car/train), attend a meeting, take a break.
• Use 'have' or 'eat' for meals: have breakfast / eat lunch; 'make' focuses on preparation.

Learn the typical verb + noun combinations rather than translating word-by-word.

Learners often make predictable errors when using daily routine vocabulary. Watch for these universal problems:

• Wrong verb form in simple present (e.g., 'He check' instead of 'He checks').
• Incorrect preposition: say 'commute by train' not 'commute with train'.
• Confusing verbs for actions: 'make breakfast' (prepare) vs 'have breakfast' (eat).
• Omitting articles where needed: 'attend meeting' → 'attend a meeting'.

Check subject-verb agreement, common prepositions, and fixed collocations.
