Describe a daily habit and say what you do not always have time to do.
The idea
Siempre means always. It can appear before the verb, as in siempre desayuno, or after a subject, as in mi hermana siempre llega. No siempre means not always.
Examples
- Siempre desayuno en casa.I always have breakfast at home.
- Mi hermana siempre llega temprano.My sister always arrives early.
- Los domingos siempre caminamos.We always walk on Sundays.
- No siempre tengo tiempo.I do not always have time.
- ¿Siempre tomas café por la mañana?Do you always drink coffee in the morning?
- Esta tienda siempre abre a las nueve.This shop always opens at nine.
