Where Do Time Expressions Go In The Sentence?
Kur laiko išsireiškimai eina sakinyje?

1.
Time expressions always, never, usually, rarely, often, seldom, frequently [fri:kentli] (visada,niekada, paprastai, retai, dažnai, retai, reguliariai) go:
after [afte] - paskui - after to be, can, may or doesn't /don't
before [bifo:] - prieš - before other verbs


2.
All other time expressions usually go at the end of the sentence (tomorrow, yesterday, last Sunday, next morning, a hour ago, at 7 o'clock in the morning, now, daily, at the weekend, on weekdays...) Sometimes you can say it at the beginning
Visi kiti laiko išsireiškimai paprastai eina gale sakinio. Kartais galite pasakyti juos pradžioje sakinio.


3.
Time expression 'sometimes', 'now', 'then' and 'once' can go at the beginning and at the end of the sentence or before the verb (but after "to be")
Sometimes I watch TV in the bedroom at 9 o'clock in the evening
I sometimes take a taxi to work in the morning.
I am sometimes sad.
It is good to do sport sometimes.

Thank you. I don't know how to explain about 'now', but 'I'm not now in England' is wrong. When in doubt, always say "now" at the end of the sentece ;)

I often use the website www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/ to improve my English . I've found there this video about daily routines. Please listen to it and write phrases with adverbs like this
I usually wake up around 7 am.... sometimes I get up too late....


When you're done, please check this transcript (click on it to see the text) I did the transcript myself, so, if you see any mistakes or if you have questions, tell me about it in your comment :silly: :cheer:
