Can I say "Often he comes to see me." ?
Hello, everyone!
I know we can say "He often comes to see me." I'm wondering if we can say it in a different way, like the sentences below:
I know we can say "He often comes to see me." I'm wondering if we can say it in a different way, like the sentences below:
Often he comes to see me.
He comes to see me often .
I really cannot sure if those two sentences are correct. Please tell me if I can say in this way. Thank you very much!Top answer
Hi Viceidol Often is seldom at the beginning of a clause, so it might be a good idea to avoid it. Like many other words, it can be placed there for emphasis. CB

Hi,
I would like you to know that if you place often at the end of the sentence, we normally add " very" or "quite" right before the frequency.
