With units of time and money, every is usual, e.g.:

I see her every morning. (La veo cada mañana.)

We practise every Tuesday and Thursday. (Hacemos prácticas cada martes y jueves.)

There's a bus every ten minutes. (Hay un autobús cada diez minutos.)

You get interest on every pound you save. (Recibes interés por cada libra que ahorras.)

Everyone (one word) or everybody means todo el mundo, e.g.:

Everyone (everybody) passed the exam. (Todo el mundo aprobó el examen.)

The company gave everyone (everybody) a 5% bonus. (La empresa dio una prima del 5% a todo el mundo.)
