Usage: Use "always" to indicate that an action or state occurs without exception at every moment or throughout an entire period. Avoid placing it between the subject and auxiliary verb unless you are emphasizing frequency over simple negation.
The word "always" comes from Middle English and originally meant "all the way," combining Old English roots for "all" and "way." It entered modern usage to describe something that happens continuously without interruption.
