Adverbs of frequency
Are words that tell us how often things are done.
So, words like:
always
usually
normally
often
sometimes
never
But the question is
Where do we put them in the sentence?
Choose the correct position for the word always:
My father (1) goes (2) to work by bike.
position 1
position 2
Choose the correct position for the word never:
I (1) am (2) late for school.
position 1
position 2
Choose the correct position for the word sometimes:
My brother (1) stays (2) up late on school days.
position 1
position 2
Choose the correct position for the word usually:
Mum (1) goes (2) to bed early.
position 1
position 2
Choose the correct position for the word normally:
Jake (1) is (2) very quiet.
position 1
position 2
To be:
My father is never late for work.
He is always friendly to others.
His boss is sometimes angry.
His coworkers are usually friendly.
Main verbs:

We usually go on holiday to France.
Look at the following examples.
What could be a rule for the position?
Not too difficult
We put adverbs of frequency after the verb to be and before main verbs.
I am normally on time, because I always leave in time.
Other time phrases
