A typical day 典型的な一日
一日の日課と、どのくらいの頻度でするかを話す。語彙：wake up, get up, have a shower, get dressed, leave, routine, always, usually, often, sometimes, never。重要文法：頻度の副詞（always, usually, often, sometimes, never）は「どのくらい頻繁か」を表す。本動詞の前に来る —「I always get up early」「I never drink coffee」— が、動詞「be」の後に来る:「I am always busy」。「never」はすでに「決して〜ない」なので「not」を足さない。韓国語も副詞を動詞の前に置くが、韓国語話者は動詞と目的語の間によく挟む:「I drink always coffee」✗ →「I always drink coffee」✓。発音コーナー：he/she 動詞の弱く読まれる「-s」語尾（gets, wakes, leaves）。
Dialogue
I drink always or I always drink? — I drink always それとも I always drink？
- Emma Minsu, what do you do every morning? ミンス、毎朝何をしますか？
- Minsu I drink always coffee, and I check usually my phone. 私はコーヒーを drink always 飲み、携帯を check usually 見ます。（間違い: 頻度の副詞は動詞と目的語の間でなく本動詞の前に —「I always drink coffee」「I usually check my phone」）
- Emma Put the adverb before the verb: "I always drink coffee", "I usually check my phone". 副詞を動詞の前に置いて：「I always drink coffee」「I usually check my phone」。
- Minsu I see. I always drink coffee, and I usually check my phone. わかりました。I always drink coffee, and I usually check my phone。
- Emma Perfect. And remember: after "be", the adverb comes after — "I am always tired". 完璧です。そして覚えて：「be」の後は副詞が後に来る —「I am always tired」。
- Minsu Got it. I am always tired on Monday mornings! わかりました。月曜の朝はいつも眠いです！

Grammar
I always get up early I always get up early
Adverbs of frequency tell you how often: always (100%), usually, often, sometimes, never (0%). The rule for where they go: BEFORE the main verb — "I always get up early", "She usually walks to work", "They never eat meat". But AFTER the verb "be" — "I am always busy", "He is often late". "Never" already carries the "no", so do not use "not" with it: say "I never drink coffee", not "I don't never drink". Korean also places the adverb before the verb (항상 먼저 온다), so the position feels natural, but many Korean learners drop it right after the verb, between it and the object: "I drink always coffee" ✗ → "I always drink coffee" ✓.
頻度の副詞は「どのくらい頻繁か」を教える：always（100%）、usually、often、sometimes、never（0%）。位置の規則：本動詞の前 —「I always get up early」「She usually walks to work」「They never eat meat」。だが動詞「be」の後 —「I am always busy」「He is often late」。「never」はすでに「〜ない」を含むので「not」と一緒に使わない：「I never drink coffee」と言い「I don't never drink」とは言わない。韓国語も副詞を動詞の前に置く（항상 먼저 온다）ので位置は自然だが、多くの韓国語話者は動詞のすぐ後、動詞と目的語の間に置く:「I drink always coffee」✗ →「I always drink coffee」✓。
- I always get up at seven o'clock. 私はいつも七時に起きます。
- She usually has a shower in the morning. 彼女はたいてい朝シャワーを浴びます。
- I am always busy on Mondays. 私は月曜はいつも忙しいです。
- He never leaves home before eight. 彼は八時前には決して家を出ません。
