 The adverbs of frequency show us how often something happens.

1. Go before the main verbs in simple tenses:

e.g. I usually work on Saturdays.
They never drink coffee.

2. But they go after verb to be in simple tenses.

e.g. It is often cold in winter.

He is always late for work.

3. Go after auxiliary verbs (can, do, etc)

e.g. He can never wake up before 10 o’clock
They don’t often go to the cinema.
