Frequency Adverbs: Always, Usually, Often, Sometimes, Seldom, Rarely, Never
Usually, frequency adverbs go before the verb:
- I always drink a cup of coffee in the morning.
- She never takes the bus.
You can put 'sometimes' at the front of the sentence, before the verb, or at the end of the sentence.
- Sometimes, I like to go for a run.
- I sometimes like to go for a run.
- I like to go for a run sometimes.
But, frequency adverbs always go after the verb "be":
- He is always late on Monday mornings!
- I'm often tired on Fridays.
Present simple tense:
I/you/we/they drive
She/he/it drives
Question form: Do you drive?
- Answer: Yes, I do or No, I don't.
The verb "Be"
I am
You are
She/he/it is
They/We are
Question form: Are you/they/we...? Is she/he/it...? Am I...?
- Answer: Yes, you/they/we are or No, you/they/we aren't.
Yes, I am or No, I'm not.
