hi thank you I want to add some detail about auxiliary verbs
order of auxiliary verbs: always 100% - usually 70% - often 50% - sometimes 30% - hardly ever 10% - never 10%
Rule 1: its comes befor main verbs
Rule 2: its comes after tobe verbs
Rule 3: its comes after modal verbs
that's it

By now I've forgotten nearly all my grammar, but if it feels right, it almost always *is* right. The feel of a language matters rather more than grammar, at least in my case.

Please clarify the difference between Towards and toward. Thanks

[ImanMMG]

Before any verb, after verb to be, between auxiliary and main verb

[nawarnawar]

These rules are only for adverbs of frequency aren't they?
Other adverbs can come before or after the verb, or even at the end of a sentence..
