Answer 1

Resposta:

Adverbs of frequency - Position

a. We often go to the movie theater.

b. My sister  is often tired after the gym.

c. She  never goes out with friends.

d. They always relax on weekends.

e. We sometimes are late for after-school  activities.

Explicação:

Adverbs of frequency

1. Normalmente, os advérbios de frequência, em inglês, são colocados ANTES do verbo principal e após o ''modal verb'' >> would, can, may, should, etc.

Exemplos:

Subject + adverb of frequency + verbo principal

We                         never                  travel           by train.

I                  would never                  quit              my job.

2. Mas se for o verbo ''to be'' o advérbio de frequência deve sempre ir APÓS o verbo.

Exemplos:

Subject + to be + adverbio de frequencia

    I              am                    always                  late for school.

  Liz              is                     never                   tired.

3. Alguns advérbios de frequência podem ser colocados no início ou no final da frase, para enfatizar alguma coisa.

Exemplos:

Occasionally they run at the park.

They run at the park occasionally.

The baby cannot sleep sometimes.

Sometimes the baby cannot sleep.
