WHAT? · What is the grammar point?
ما هي القاعدة؟Adverbs of frequency tell us how often something happens. They go BEFORE the main verb, but AFTER the verb 'be'.
RULE
القاعدة- always 100% → usually → often → sometimes → rarely → never 0%
- Subject + adverb + main verb: I usually walk.
- Subject + be + adverb: He is never late.
