position of the adverb of frequency
|
Hi dear teachers!
I need your help! Do we say:
He is usually not late at school
or He is not usually late a school?
How do you justify the place of the frequency adverb: usually
Thanks!!

Hello!
I would say :
He is hardly late at school.
The association NOT and USUALLY is not often used, as far as I know even if I prefer NOT USUALLY to USUALLY NOT.
Take care. |

Hello Ladybird!
Would you say then?
He is always not in (at home) on Sunday afternoons.
I would say :
He is not always in .....
After Be but not before Not, as far as I know.
But you are right when you add ever. I had forgotten it. |
