Absolutely correct. Terms of regularity generally go between the person and the verb, except with "to be".

I am never angry.
He is always tired.

Thank you very much! I agree with you that we should put these words between person and verb. But I want to know if they are correct in that order. Because I saw a sentence in a book: I do it often . I got confused.

Thank you again.:up:

"Often" can actually be place in the middle or at the end quite frequently, especially with a modifier.

I go there quite often.
I do that often (though I would say "I often do that).

Thank you! How about other words? Can all of them be put at the end?

Some can, some can't!

I always do that - yes.
I do that always - no.

I never do that - yes.
I do that never - no.

I frequently do that - yes.
I do that frequently - yes.

I often do that - yes.
I do that often - yes.

I rarely do that - yes.
I do that rarely - hmm, I wouldn't use it but it's OK.

I sometimes do that - yes.
I do that sometimes - yes.

To be honest, it's frequently a case of what just sounds right, which I realise is difficult for non-native speakers to spot!
