What's the rule?
Adverbs of frequency are usually put before the main verb. Never and usually are
frequency adverbs. They tell you how often things are done. Others
include:
| always |
normally |
often |
sometimes |
| occasionally |
rarely |
scarcely |
seldom |
Example
They sometimes offer reductions.
Before 1991, the company had never made a loss.
When the verb has an auxiliary (or helping) verb (eg to be or to
do) as in the second example above, or a modal verb (eg can or must),
the frequency adverb usually comes after that verb and before
the main verb.
Examples
She is always trying to improve her sales figures.
Bonuses can sometimes be very high.
