• We use adverbs of frequency to describe how often somebody does something, or how
often something happens.
• Adverbs of frequency come after the verb be: The bus is always crowded.
• And they come before other verbs: She sometimes walks to work.
• In negative sentences, they come between don't/doesn't and the verb:
I don't usually buy magazines.
• In questions, they come before the verb: Do you always have breakfast?
We can use every+ noun, too (e.g. every day, every week, every year).
Every day/week, etc. come at the beginning or end of the sentence:
I phone Emma every day.
Every month we visit my grandparents.
