Words like sometimes, always, and never are used to describe the frequency of an action.
Sometimes is used when an action happens on certain occasions but not every time. For example, I sometimes have coffee for breakfast. It indicates possibility but not certainty.
Always is used when an action happens every single time without fail. For example, The sun always rises in the east. It shows a consistent or habitual action.
Never means an action does not happen at any time. For example, She never eats meat. This indicates a complete absence of the action.
