TIME EXPRESSIONS

We use time Expressions that have more than one word, at the end of a
sentence.
e.g. I go to school every day.
e.g. I play tennis three times a week.
We use time Expressions that have one word, before the main verb.
e.g. I always do my homework.
e.g. We don't usually spend so much money.
If the main verb is BE (am, is, are), we put the Time Expression after it.
e.g. I am never late.
