Looking at the words in blue in the dialogues in exercise 2, I see that adverbs of frequency are positioned after the subject and before the main verb in a sentence.

(Nhìn vào các từ màu xanh lam trong các đoạn hội thoại ở bài tập 2 em thấy rằng các trạng từ chỉ tần suất thường đứng sau chủ ngữ và đứng trước động từ chính trong câu.)

More adverbs: always, normally, usually, often/frequently, sometimes, seldom/rarely, and never…

(Thêm một số trạng từ là: always (luôn luôn), normally (thông thường), usually (thường thường), often/frequently (thường xuyên), sometimes (thỉnh thoảng), seldom/rarely (hiếm khi), and never (không bao giờ)...)

A: What time do you go to bed in the evening?

(Bạn đi ngủ lúc mấy giờ vào buổi tối?)

B: I often go to bed at twenty-two o’clock. Sometimes, I go to bed at eleven p.m to listen to music or read books.  How do you relax?

(Tôi thường đi ngủ lúc mười giờ tối. Thỉnh thoảng, tôi đi ngủ lúc mười một giờ để nghe nhạc hoặc đọc sách. Còn bạn thư giãn bằng cách nào?)

A: I normally go shopping on Saturday mornings with my Mom. Do you usually go shopping at the weekend?

(Tôi thường hay đi mua sắm vào các buổi sáng thứ Bảy với mẹ của tôi. Bạn có thường đi mua sắm vào cuối tuần không?)

B: No, only once a month. I’d like to cook at home and spend time tidying my room.

(Không, chỉ một lần một tháng thôi. Tôi thích nấu ăn ở nhà và dành thời gian dọn dẹp căn phòng của mình hơn.)
