Adverbs of frequency

In this beautiful video Steffy Resendiz show us how to use the adverbs of frequency, We use the adverbs of frequency in order to describe how frequently we do an activity either in definite or indefinite terms.

Definite terms: daily, weekly, monthly
Indefinite terms: sometimes, often, rarely

The position of the Adverb in the sentence

a. The adverb of frequency goes before the main verb 

Grammar structure; Subject + adverb + main verb

• I always go to the beach with my dog
• He normally gets good grades in his tests.

b.An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be 

Grammar structure; Subject + to be + adverb

• They are never happy to see my dog swimming in the pool
• She is not usually big headed, as people say...

When we have to use an auxiliary verb as have, will, must, might, could, can, would, etc., the adverb of frequency is always placed between the auxiliary and the main verb, even for the verb To Be.

Grammar structure: Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb

• She can sometimes be wicked with some people
• I would hardly ever be unkind to my students
• They might never come to our house again
• They could occasionally be heard laughing
