たんご: More Qualifiers for Actions

みなさんこんばんわ。

こんしゅう we learned how to put qualifiers for actions in with さとう先生ととくます先生. The following are the ones we covered:

ぜんぜん - never 
あまり - not very often 
ときどき - tokidoki, sometimes 
よく - often
たいてい - usually
いつも - always

でも。。。

I've found a couple other qualifiers that could be useful to know as well as understand. I hope my understanding of the たんご are correct:


1) 普通(ふつう)は/に = "usually" or "normally."

i.e.
私は普通に車で仕事に行きます。 (わたしはふつうにくるまでしごとにいきます)
"I usually go to work by car."

*普通 is also apparently used at train stations to indicate a regular or local train.
**Apparently there is another way to say "normally" or "usually" is 普段 (ふだん). 

2) 常に(つねに) = "always" or "constantly."

i.e.
火は常に危険だ。(ひはつねにきけんだ)
"Fire is always dangerous."

読んでくれてありがとう。
じゃあ、またね!
