sentence order
He goes shopping with his girlfriend every Saturday.
I wonder if "with his girlfriend" can be placed after "every Saturday". Is is correct to say that time phrases are always placed at the end of sentences? Thanks a lot.

Sometimes you can change the order, and it would be all right to do so in this sentence, but it's not the usual order.
The usual order is place, and then time, if you're putting them at the end of the sentence. This order is fairly strict but not absolutely required. Prepositional phrases, like with his girlfriend, are a little more free to move about.
