Adjectives describe nouns; adverbs describe verbs, adjectives and whole sentences. English puts an adjective BEFORE its noun, never after, and it puts several adjectives in a fixed order native speakers follow without knowing the rule. Adverbs of frequency — always, usually, never — sit in a specific slot around the verb, and moving them is one of the most audible non-native signals there is.

How often. It goes before the main verb, but after "be".

Every one of these is a sentence Indian-English speakers genuinely produce — not a textbook example.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
I go always by bus. | I always go by bus. Frequency words sit before the main verb. Adverbs of frequency → |
He speaks very good English fluent. | He speaks English fluently. Describing the verb needs the -ly form. Adverbs of manner → |
A red big bag. | A big red bag. Size comes before colour. Adjective order → |
She speaks fluently English. | She speaks English fluently. An adverb never comes between the verb and its object. Where an adverb goes → |
We arrived yesterday at the office. | We arrived at the office yesterday. Place first, then time. Place before time → |
I am very boring in this job. | I am very bored in this job. "Boring" would mean you bore other people — the feeling is "bored". bored or boring? → |
The water was very freezing. | The water was absolutely freezing. "Freezing" is already extreme, so it takes "absolutely" rather than "very". very or absolutely? → |
The film was too good. | The film was very good. "Too" means it was a problem — for praise, use "very". too / enough → |
