Position of Adverbs of Frequency
The position of the adverb depends on the verb type:
1. Before main verbs (but NOT the verb “be”)
Subject + adverb + main verb
Example:
• She usually drinks tea.
• They often go to school by bus.
2. After “be” verbs (am, is, are, was, were)
Subject + be verb + adverb
Example:
• I am never hungry after a big meal.
• He is always late.
3. Between auxiliary verbs and main verbs (when there are two verbs)
Subject + auxiliary verb + adverb + main verb
Example:
• She has already finished her work.
• They are usually watching TV in the evening.
• He does often forget his keys.
(Auxiliary verbs: do, does, did, have, has, had, will, can, am/is/are when used in continuous or passive)
Summary (easy to remember)
- One main verb → adverb before it
- “Be” verb → adverb after it
- Two verbs → adverb in the middle
