Adverbs and Expressions of Frequency  THIS IS A EXPLANATION

We often use the present simple with adverbs of frequency: never, hardly ever, usually, sometimes, often, always

Adverbs of frequency go before the main verb: I usually wake up at 7am.

Adverbs of frequency go after "be": He’s always late.

Expressions of frequency (every day, twice a week, once a month etc) usually go at the end of a sentence: I have English lessons every day.
