Grammar
Adverbs of frequency
I have a couple of questions about how to correctly use adverbs of frequency.
He always goes to work on time.
He usually goes to work on time.
He doesn't always go to school on time.
The three sentences above should be no problems in their structures. But the next one may have arouse some controversy. Different grammar websites have different answers to it.
He usually doesn't go to work on time.
He doesn't usually go to work on time.
To my understanding, I think the second is more correct. Do you agree?
Moreover, please help me with the sentences below, please.
She usually is not an honest girl.
She is usually not an honest girl.
Which is a better answer? Please advise. Thanks.
