Usually in front position
I was wondering if the following sentence is incorrect: Usually my classmates don't come on time.
A friend had it marked wrong but I was under the understanding the adverbs of frequency can be used in the front position.
The other question I have, if it is correct, do you have to use a comma after usually when it's starting a sentence or is it merely stylistic?
Thanks kindly!
