I always go home after 8:00 p.m.

Yesterday's class was about the adverbs of frequency. I asked my students to make a sentence with "always." One student said, "I always go home." I secretly said, "Sure, you always go home after a day's work. Where else will you go?"

I suggested him to say, "I always go home at 8:00 o'clock." He did not understand the reason for the correction. He did not look happy.

I explained the wrong nuance of his sentence, which could have been beyond his comprehension.

Then it occurred to me that he was giving me grammatically correct English and I was expecting him to discuss his everyday life.

He accepted the English: I always go home after 8:00 p.m.

A scene of a basic level English class.
