### note

Marks a rule or a repeated habit; no operation clue by itself. Trap: «always buys 2 each day» may hide repeated groups, so count the days. It usually stands before the main verb (she always walks) but after «is/are» (she is always late). «is always losing» with -ing is a complaint about a habit, not a rule. Opposite: never. «invariably» and «without exception» in an exam mean exactly «always».
