Definition

1. Adverb:
   • On a weekly basis; every week: "each week" indicates that an action or event occurs once per week, without omission. It describes a regular, recurring interval of seven days.

Usage

• The adverb "each week" modifies verbs to specify the frequency of an action. It is synonymous with "weekly" or "every week" and is typically placed at the beginning or end of a clause for emphasis on regularity.
  • Correct: "Each week, the team meets to discuss progress."
  • Correct: "He receives a report each week."
