Question

If both auxiliary verb and main verb come in a sentence, where is the adverb of frequency/degree generally put?

• A. Between auxiliary verb and main verb
• B. Before auxiliary verb and main verb
• C. After auxiliary verb and main verb
• D. In the place of auxiliary verb

Answer 1

The correct option is A Between auxiliary verb and main verb

When a sentence contains more than one verb i.e. one main verb and another is an auxiliary verb, place the adverb of frequency/degree between the verbs. E.g. They have often visited Europe. Here, 'have' is an auxiliary verb and 'visited' is the main verb so, 'often' is placed between the two. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
