The order of adverb: Verb, manner, place , frequency , and time. So, the second sentence is OK. rishonly Joined on Sat, Mar 5 2005 KUMBAKONAM,INDIA Contributing Member 1,782 Regards, Krishna Verbs, Adverbs, Word Order

Hi Rex, I tend to take '3 times a week ' as an adverb of frequency ( regularly, for instance...) rather than an adverb of time. 1. I must do circuit training  regularly at the gym. 2.I must do circuit training at the gym regularly.    K.O. Joined on Fri, Jun 3 2005 Turkey Full Member 180 .O. Verbs, Adverbs, Word Order

	Goodman  +  205558 Sun, 12 Mar 06 08:14 PM One characteristic that Adverbs or adverb clasues have is that they can be at the beginning, middle or at the end of the sentence. Your sample sentences are fine grammatically. dDpending on the ears of your listeners, one may be prefered over the other. 1. I must do circuit training 3 times a week at the gym. 2. I must do circuit training at the gym 3 times a week. Ex: 1) Three times a week, I have to go to the supermarket because my family eats like a horse. This   emphasizes the frequency at the beginning.       2) I have to go to the supermarket Three times a week because my family eats like a horse. This   emphasizes the frequency at the middle of the compound sentence. Goodman Joined on Mon, Nov 7 2005 Senior Member 3,816 The name says it all! Verbs, Adverbs, Sample

	Rex  +  205564 Sun, 12 Mar 06 08:42 PM Thanks everybody for the replies. K.O says the word 'regularly' could be written here. No, it can be 5 times or 7 times a week if you want to say regularly. Rex
