Explanation
Words that say how often something happens: always (100 %), usually (most of the time), sometimes (not often), never (0 %). They go BEFORE the main verb: “I always have breakfast.” With he/she we use “has”: “She usually has tea.” “Never” already means “not”, so we do not add “don’t”: “I never have coffee” is correct; “I don’t never have coffee” is wrong. We say “for breakfast / lunch / dinner”.
Worked examples

My brother never has nuts because he doesn’t like them.
Class activity
