Usually modifies between object and some other words in a sentence?

You're asking about the word "usually", and how it fits in a sentence. Let's break it down:

* "Usually" is an adverb. It modifies (describes) verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

* "Usually" doesn't directly modify objects. Objects are the nouns or pronouns that receive the action of the verb.

Here's how it works:

* Modifying a verb: "She usually eats breakfast at 7 am." (Modifies the verb "eats").

* Modifying an adjective: "The weather is usually warm here." (Modifies the adjective "warm").

* Modifying another adverb: "He walks unusually fast." (Modifies the adverb "fast").

Example:

* "She usually eats her breakfast at 7 am."

* "She" is the subject.

* "eats" is the verb.

* "her breakfast" is the object (what she eats).

* "usually" modifies the verb "eats," telling us how often she eats breakfast.

In summary: "Usually" often sits before a verb, but it doesn't modify objects. It describes how often something happens or how something is done.
