Adverb Placement Exercises
Adverb Placement Exercises
Good morning, could use a little help with adverb placement. Here’s one of the sentences:
“Sam often forgets to bring his notebook to class.”
Could you help us figure out where else we could place “often” in the sentence, or if there’s a general rule we should follow? Thanks!

The most common and accurate placement for frequency adverbs like "often" is before the main verb in a sentence. This is the placement native speakers use most often, and it sounds natural in everyday English.
So, for your sentence, the best version would be:
“Sam often forgets to bring his notebook to class.”
This placement is both grammatically correct and sounds natural.
Thanks, and hope this helps! 😊
