An adverb of frequency is used to express how often an activity occurs.
Frequency adverbs can be placed at various points in the sentence.
Adverbs of frequency go before the main verb:

Adverbs of frequency go after "be":

Expressions of frequency (every day, twice a week, once a month etc) usually go at the end of a sentence:
I have English lessons every day.
