Adverbs of frequency:

Never, Sometimes, Often, Usually, Always.

Ex: Pedro never works in Europe.
He sometimes flies 15 or 16 hours.
Does he often visit Brazil? Yes, he does.
He usually flies four days a week.
Does he always go to Paris? Yes, he does.

Obs:  Verb to be: When we use a adverb of frequency with the verb to be, we must follow this rule: the adverb of frequency must come after the verb to be. Ex:

 The adverbs: sometimes often and usually can be use in the begining and the end of the sentence.
