    Not a single adverb of frequency or of any other kind I am familiar with can do that, Blouen! Now and ever, here and there!

    Believe or not, Blouen, but the first impression I got after reading your post was that you may have been mislead by that s at the end of always, and therefore making you believe that it affects the verb.
