动词、助动词等之后,行为动词之前。
1.
在

very busy.

2.
在第一个助动词或情态动词之后。如:

我将永远忘不了这一课。
3.
在实义动词之前。如:

often go there.

◆sometimes
也可放在句首、句中或句末,

也可放在句末(一般不放在句
首)。如:

=She writes to me sometimes.
她有时候给我
写信。

◆如果有两个助动
词,频度副词通常放在第一个助动词后面。如:

邀请过我们。

(部分否定)
频度副词通常和一般现

your brother
?
位于助动词之前两种情况
1.

时助动词等应重读。如:

她老是迟到。
I never
can remember.

2.
在简略答语中,当频度副词与动词
be
、助动词或情态动词位于句末时,频度
副词必须前置。<
/p>
—“Philip is late again.”
—“Yes, he always is.”
—“菲利普又迟到
了。”—“是的,他总是迟到。”
—
“Can you park
your car near the shops?” —“Yes. I usually
can.”
