If it is afirmative, the first one. If you want to ask a question, then none of them are correct. It would be: Don�t they always ask silly questions? I believe you wanted to write afirmative sentences but you were asking... Am I right?? Aisha ;)

I think both are correct. This is the use of frequency adverbs. It depends on your sentence. For example I sometimes write letters.or I write letters , sometimes. |

Agree with Aisha. Statement: They don�t always ask silly questions. Question (you are asking the listener to agee with you, or it would be: Do they always ask silly questions? ): Don�t they always ask silly questions? or even: Don�t they always ask silly questions!

It is better to say " They never ask silly questions." or for partial negation say"they don�t always ask silly questions. " for asking say "Do they always ask silly questions? " with my greetings |
