Hello, everyone!

I know we can say "He often comes to see me." I'm wondering if we can say it in a different way, like the sentences below:

Often he comes to see me.

He comes to see me often .

I really cannot sure if those two sentences are correct. Please tell me if I can say in this way. Thank you very much!

Hi Viceidol

Often is seldom at the beginning of a clause, so it might be a good idea to avoid it. Like many other words, it can be placed there for emphasis.

Hi,

I would like you to know that if you place often at the end of the sentence, we normally add " very" or "quite" right before the frequency.
