Always:<\/strong> This means something that happens every single time, without exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example: “He <\/em>always<\/em><\/strong> wakes up at 8 am.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually:<\/strong> This represents something that occurs most of the time, but not always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example: “He <\/em>usually<\/em><\/strong> finishes his homework before dinner.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often:<\/strong> This represents something that happens quite a bit, but only some of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
