Questions & Answers about Cada mañana tenemos un desayuno diferente.

Why do we say cada mañana instead of todas las mañanas?
Both expressions can convey a similar idea, but cada puts the focus on each individual morning, one by one. Todas las mañanas tends to group all mornings together as a set. Grammatically, both are correct. You’ll come across cada mañana more often when emphasizing something happening each single day.
Why do we use tenemos here and not tomamos?
In many parts of Latin America, people might say tomamos desayuno or desayunamos to mean we have breakfast. Saying tenemos un desayuno is also acceptable. Tomar desayuno is more about the act of taking or having breakfast, while tener un desayuno states we have a breakfast (planned or available). They’re interchangeable in many practical contexts, but tomamos stresses the action of eating or drinking, while tenemos highlights possession or availability.
Do native speakers ever leave out un and just say tenemos desayuno?
Yes, in everyday conversation you might hear tenemos desayuno without the article. However, using un can sound more specific: tenemos un desayuno diferente suggests we have a particular, different breakfast each day. Leaving it out implies more of a general statement about having breakfast.
Is diferente always placed after the noun?
In Spanish, adjectives generally follow the noun, so desayuno diferente is the usual word order. Some adjectives can precede the noun for stylistic or meaning changes, but diferente most commonly follows it to retain its straightforward meaning of different.
Could cada change form if it refers to different genders or plurals?
No, cada remains the same regardless of gender or number. It can be followed by a singular masculine or feminine noun without changing form. For example, cada día, cada mañana, cada persona — it never becomes cadas or cadao.
