The first sentence makes sense. It describes the person's attitude.

- I like helping people (gerund)

There may be a tiny difference but hardly worth noting. It may be that the first one may put the empasis on "people" (It's people you like to help) whereas the second may suggest you are just a helpful person (It's the helping you like). But that is so hard to distinguish in writing, it's perhaps not worth the concern.

depends which adverb we are talking about-
adverbs of time such as monday or July etc...
we can position either in the beginn.or end.
On Monday I went to see cinema.
I went to the cinema on Monday.

I think "I never go there" is the correct answer, only the adverb could be after the verb "to be"

But I don't know if it's correct the sentence "Never I went there"

thank you
