Hi Bee,
Please Correct me!


Thanks for the extra information. It looks as if you understanbd the adverbs and have used them correctly in your sentences, but there is something else in most of the sentences which is stopping them from making sense.

1. Aisha is rarely available at canteen.
This sentence is correct. Rarely = not there very often, but is there occasionally.

2. My friend always with good friends.
Always = all the time. The sentence as you have written it doesn't make sense. Here are some examples:
My friends are always good friends.
I always make good friends.

3. My friend never available at/in home.
This sentence is missing a verb:
My friend is never available at home.
'Available' is often redundant. You could say:
My friend is never at home.
This doesn't mean literally never home, but would be understood by a native speaker to mean never at home when you call, etc.

4. She often available with his teacher in the library.
You seem to be concentrating so hard on 'often' that you have forgotten the rest of the grammar! :-)
There are a number of errors in this sentence. Some examples:
My teacher is often in the library.
She is often seen with the teacher in the library.
She is often in the library with her teacher.

5. The bad peoples are always behind the jail.
The bad people always end up in jail.
