Adverbs of frequency in

English are generally used

with the present simple.
This is quite normal, since
they serve to describe a
general truth, a habit of
the subject.
Definite adverbs of frequency. Unlike
their indefinite counterparts, they are
usually placed at the end of the
sentence, sometimes at the beginning,
but never in the middle (for example,
between the subject and the verb).
As their name suggests, they are used
to give a specific frequency, while
indefinite adverbs are more flexible.
Let's look at some of them.

Indefinite adverbs of frequency are
those that do not specify frequency
time, they only offer us an
approximate idea, because it
depends on your circumstance to be
able to predict the approximate
frequency time. Usually, the adverb
of indefinite frequency comes
before the main verb:
