Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use frequency adverbs to describe how often you perform actions, usually placing them before the verb.

  • Place adverbs like 'siempre' or 'nunca' before the main verb: 'Yo siempre como fruta'.
  • Use 'todos los días' or 'a veces' at the start or end of a sentence.
  • In negative sentences, 'no' comes before the adverb: 'Yo no siempre estudio'.
