How do I use adverbs like "sometimes, always, often" etc. in combination with weekdays? For example, if I want to say "I sometimes study on Saturdays.", could I say "（わたしは）たまにどようびにべんきょうします。"? Sorry

How do I use adverbs like "sometimes, always, often" etc. in combination with weekdays? For example, if I want to say "I sometimes study on Saturdays.", could I say "（わたしは）たまにどようびにべんきょうします。"? Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I just started learning Japanese very recently. Any advice is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

Hi Sahra, Your sentence is correct. The most common adverbs of frequency you can use with days in Japanese are: いつも=always たいてい、だいたい=usually よく =often あまり+ V ません=hardly ever ぜんぜん+Vません=never For example: どようびはよくほんをよみます。にちようびはぜんぜんべんきょうしません。
