Adverbs of frequency are very useful aids when trying to understand how to correctly construct your sentences. Remember we talked about always defining your time whenever you make a sentence? Well, these are great for the Present Simple:

S.A.U.R.O.N.

Sometimes - Sometimes I cook dinner for my wife.
Always - I always use a cook book.
Usually - My wife usually cooks nicer meals.
Rarely - I rarely cook complicated dishes.
Often - My wife often tries new recipes.
Never - I never fry my food.

We will also look at the positioning rules.

Adverbs or Adjectives? Some confusing cases explained here

Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, early, leisurely
are all both used to describe actions and nouns!
I go for a daily jog. He jogs daily.
I got an early flight. I got up early to fly from London.

Example of both word types with the same form

Some have the same identical form: for example a fast car goes fast, if you do hard work you work hard. (These two examples are taken from Practical English in Use by Michael Swan, which is an excellent resource for teachers)
