Questions & Answers about Tā měitiān xiàbān hòu dōu qù gōngyuán, ránhòu cóng gōngyuán zǒu dào jiā.

What does 都 do here? Is it literally “all”?

• 都 distributes the action over a set. The set here is the days introduced by 每天. So it means she does it every single day, without exception.
• It doesn’t count people in this sentence; it emphasizes regularity across days and sounds very natural.

Where should 都 go in this sentence?

• Put 都 after the subject (or topic) and after the thing that creates the set, but before the main verb.
• Natural: 她每天下班后都去公园。 / 每天她下班后都去公园。
• Avoid placing 都 so that it seems to modify the time phrase itself or the subject alone.

Can I omit 都?

• Yes. 她每天下班后去公园 is grammatical and clear. Using 都 adds emphasis and is extremely common with 每-words.

What about the word order of the time expressions 每天 and 下班后?

• Both 她每天下班后… and 每天她下班后… are fine. The first is more common; the second puts extra emphasis on “every day.”
• 她下班后每天都去公园 is also possible and slightly emphasizes the “after work” time window. Don’t split 下班后.

What’s the difference between 后, 之后, and 以后 in 下班后?
