The rule

Subject + Predicator + Object / Adverbial (of place) + Adverbial (of time)

OR

WHO + DOES + WHAT/WHERE + WHEN

Now make two sentences
using the correct word order!

Now try to add one of these words to your previous sentence:

Adverbs of frequency:

Often - Usually - Occasionally - Suddenly - Sometimes - Never - Rarely 

Now try to add one of these
words to your previous sentence:

The rule

Subject + Adverb + Predicator + Object / Adverbial (of place) + Adverbial (of time)

Joey / usually / eats / a sandwich / in the morning.

(Exception: After TO BE the adverb is after the predicator)
