Adverbs of frequency change or qualify the meaning of a sentence by
telling us how often or how frequently something happens or
occurs.
We usually put these adverbs in the middle of the sentence, between the
subject and the verb:
I always go to the cinema.
She sometimes visits me at home.
We never drink coffee.
