Frequency Adverbs Grammar:
An adverb of frequency describes how often an action happens. There are six
main adverbs of frequency that we use in English: always, usually (or normally),
often, sometimes, rarely, and never.

How do we use adverb of frequency?

Adverbs of frequency are often used to indicate routine or repeated activities, so they
are often used with the present simple tense. If a sentence has only one verb, place
the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the
subject but before the verb. For Examples: Tom never flies. Fly= Flies

(Daniel/He) always passes his exams / I

always pass my exams.

Tom never flies / we never fly

Adverbs of time and definite frequency say when or how often something happens.
Examples are, today, yesterday, in the afternoon, last night, last week, last year, two
months ago, already, soon, still, finally, weekly, daily, every year, monthly
etc. Adverbs of time and definite frequency usually go in end-position
