How it's used
Focuses on a recurring, inevitable condition where one action triggers another. It carries a slightly stronger sense of regularity or habit than just using 每一次. It is often used to express mild annoyance or to point out a predictable pattern in someone's behavior.
Examples
Do you never go out whenever it rains?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a single future event, as it strictly requires a habitual or repetitive context. It is not interchangeable with 每次 in formal writing, as it is strictly a spoken Cantonese construction.
