Correct or not: "ich dusche nicht morgens, sondern die Nacht bevor ich schlafen." ?
I want to say "I do not shower in the morning but the night before I go to sleep"...
also, to express you the things that you do regularly, do I need to add "am" before "morgens/ abends"? Then what does "am Morgen/ Abend" mean? What's the difference between the two? *to express the things*

Question

Correct or not: "ich dusche nicht morgens, sondern die Nacht bevor ich schlafen." ?
I want to say "I do not shower in the morning but the night before I go to sleep"...
also, to express you the things that you do regularly, do I need to add "am" before "morgens/ abends"? Then what does "am Morgen/ Abend" mean? What's the difference between the two? *to express the things*

Answer

"Ich dusche nicht morgens (/am Morgen), sondern nachts (/abends /am Abend /in der Nacht), bevor ich schlafe."

Answer

As the Kaiser points out, the two expression "morgens" and "am Morgen", both refer to action on a regular basis. Although I confess, I have rarely heard "am Morgen". You will hear "morgens" a lot more frequently.

Answer

Wie mein Vorgänger schon geschrieben hat, zwischen den Ausdrücken morgens/am Morgen oder abends/am Abend gibt es eigentlich keinen Unterschied, außer dass vielleicht morgens/abends häufiger verwendet wird. Beide drücken aber aus, dass man etwas regelmäßig zu dieser Tageszeit tut.
