very often

Hi
Please tell me which is idiomatic.
She catches the school bus very often/ She very often catches the school bus.

They are both possible but the second is normally more natural. For me, there is a faint difference in nuance, with the first version seeming to suggest that the school bus (rather than, say, her habits) has previously been the topic. You can also say "Very often she catches the school bus".
