The position of the adverb in a sentence

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb. This is also true for to be.

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).
