Adverbs of frequency

One or two-word adverbs of frequency usually go:

1) before the main verb:
We hardly ever go to the theatre
Mike often watches TV in the evening
I rarely eat fish
They sometimes play tennis at the weekend

2) after the verb BE:

I’m never late for meetings
Tom is often in a bad mood in the morning
We are rarely invited to parties
Patty isn’t usually angry

3) after auxiliary verbs (have/do/will/would) and modals (can/may/must/should etc.)

I have never been to Russia
She doesn’t usually help at home
They will occasionally visit us in the summer
I can never understand phrasal verbs
Parents tell their children that they should never speak to strangers

Longer adverbial phrases usually go at the beginning or end of sentences:

Every Saturday afternoon we go for a walk in the park
I go to the cinema twice a month
On Friday evenings she calls her aunt Helen
I play tennis with my friends every second Tuesday
