Improve the bracketed part of the sentence: "Everyday we (have usually) dinner at 8 o clock." Choose the option that gives correct word order.

Introduction / Context:
This question tests your understanding of adverb placement in a simple present tense sentence. The sentence is "Everyday we (have usually) dinner at 8 o clock." The phrase inside brackets is grammatically awkward in English because the adverb "usually" is not in its typical position. In such questions you must select the alternative that produces a natural sounding sentence that follows standard rules for word order.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• The sentence talks about a regular routine: eating dinner at 8 o clock every day.
• The bracketed phrase is "have usually".
• The options include "usually have", "have usual", "have had usually", "no improvement" and another variant.
• The verb is "have", used here as a main verb meaning "eat".
• The adverb "usually" expresses frequency.

Concept / Approach:
In English, frequency adverbs like "usually", "often" and "always" commonly appear before the main verb in simple present sentences, especially when the verb is not "to be". For example, we say "We usually have dinner at eight", not "We have usually dinner at eight" in neutral word order. The general pattern is subject plus adverb of frequency plus main verb plus object. Therefore, we need to rearrange "have usually" into "usually have" to follow this pattern. Options that change the tense or the form of words must be examined carefully and rejected if they disturb the simple present habitual meaning.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Identify the subject "we" and the main verb "have". Step 2: Recognise that "usually" is a frequency adverb indicating how often the action takes place. Step 3: Apply the rule that frequency adverbs normally go before the main verb in simple present, giving "we usually have". Step 4: Replace the bracketed part with "usually have" so that the sentence reads "Everyday we usually have dinner at 8 o clock".

Verification / Alternative check:
Read the improved sentence aloud: "Everyday we usually have dinner at 8 o clock." This sounds natural and correctly expresses a common routine. Now test other options. "Have usual" would require a noun after "usual", as in "usual dinner", so the phrase "have usual dinner" would need an article and is still clumsy. "Have had usually" switches the sentence into present perfect and places the adverb awkwardly, which is unnecessary for a simple daily routine. "No improvement" would keep "have usually" in place, which is not standard word order. "Do usually have" would produce "Everyday we do usually have dinner at 8 o clock". While this is grammatically possible, it is more emphatic than needed and not the best simple improvement for this question.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
"Have usual" is wrong because "usual" is an adjective that should describe a noun, and the phrase lacks the article and noun needed to make sense. "Have had usually" changes the tense to present perfect and still misplaces the adverb; it does not match the straightforward habitual meaning. "No improvement" leaves the slightly unnatural "have usually dinner", which is not the preferred pattern in modern English. "Do usually have" adds an auxiliary "do" that is generally used for emphasis or questions, not for a simple statement like this, so it is not the best choice for a basic correction question.

Common Pitfalls:
One common mistake is to rely on patterns from your first language, where adverb placement may differ from English. Another is to think that any arrangement with the same words is acceptable. In English, the natural rhythm of sentences is important, and exam setters expect you to know common fixed positions of frequency adverbs. A good habit is to memorise example sentences with each of these adverbs, such as "I usually get up early", "She often visits us", and then use those as templates when faced with improvement questions.

Final Answer:
The correct improvement is usually have, so the sentence should read "Everyday we usually have dinner at 8 o clock.".
