Time and its position in a sentance
00 In German there is a specific position for time information such as, 'in the morning', 'every day', 'sometimes', 'at 2 O'clock' etc. 02 br
00 I am aware of what sounds correct but do not know why. It seems that it can go at the beginning or end of a sentance but not in the middle (or after the verb) as in 'I eat every day my breakfast', which is a perfectly acceptable order in German. 02 br

00 Can anyone please help with my question, which is: Are there any rules for where to place this information within a sentance? 0-

*71*0 01 p 00 Hi Rainbo 02 br 02 br 00 There are quite a few rules and lots of exceptions to them.

000 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I had spent time googling for this information but didn't even know how to phrase my question correctly. The link you gave me is great. I now understand that I am actually querying the 'when' clause and adverbs of frequency and now understand the difference between these two. 02 br
