Remember

1)We may use “adverbs of frequency” with simple present tense.

Always, often, usually, sometimes, rarely, never generally come before the verb, but they come after the verb “to be”.

Ex. He usually helps her mother.

It is always cold there.

2)Expressions like every day, every week, once a day, twice a month come “at the end” or “at the beginning” of the sentence.

Ex. Sara’s mother prepares breakfast for her family every morning.

Every morning she prepares breakfast for her family.
