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.</description></item><item><title>Re: The word order</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheWordOrder/chxdh/post.htm#205558</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:00:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:205558</guid><dc:creator>Goodman</dc:creator><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheWordOrder/chxdh/post.htm#205558</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-205558.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>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.</description></item><item><title>Re: The word order</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheWordOrder/chxdh/post.htm#205548</link><pubDate>Sat, 23 May 2009 14:00:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:205548</guid><dc:creator>K.O.</dc:creator><slash:comments>4</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheWordOrder/chxdh/post.htm#205548</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-205548.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Rex wrote:     1.

What is the standard word order in this context? Your comments are appreciated. I must do circuit training 3 times a week at the gym. 
 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.</description></item><item><title>Re: The word order</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheWordOrder/chxdh/post.htm#205544</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:00:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:205544</guid><dc:creator>rishonly</dc:creator><slash:comments>5</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheWordOrder/chxdh/post.htm#205544</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-205544.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Rex wrote:     1.

 The order of adverb: Verb, manner, place , frequency , and time. So, the second sentence is OK.</description></item><item><title>The word order</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheWordOrder/chxdh/post.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:00:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:205537</guid><dc:creator>Rex</dc:creator><slash:comments>6</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheWordOrder/chxdh/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-205537.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>1.
