"每...都..." (měi...dōu...) is a pattern used to express "every" when talking about a quantitative amount.
Here's the basic structure:
每 + Number + Measure Word + Noun + 都 + Adjective/Verb
An important note is that if the number is simply just "one", then it's usually omitted.
Here are some examples of this pattern in action:
- 我 每 个 星期 三 都 去 实习。
- 他 每 天 都 上 班。
- 请 你 每 两 天 服 一 次 药。
