What’s the position of adverbs of frequency?
The adverbs of frequency are usually before the main verb and they come after the auxiliary(助动词)，copula (系动词) and modal verbs(情态动词) For example : 1.I often see her walk in the park.(主要动词之前) 2.We must always remember this.(情态动词之后) 3.He has never been late.(助动词之后)
Some adverbs of frequency can be put in the beginning or the end of a sentence to emphasize the adverbs. For example:
