Rule 1: 1. The imperfect of habit
A plain imperfect with a word of frequency describes what regularly happens: كُلَّ يَوْمٍ every day, كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ every morning, دَائِمًا always, عَادَةً usually, أَحْيَانًا sometimes. These adverbs are in the accusative and may stand at the beginning or end of the sentence.
