a) after the verb?
b) before it the verb?
2. Where does 'always' go in this sentence:

3. I normally arrive at 6.45.

 We usually stress 'information' words e.g. Can you tell me the

way to the school? 'tell', 'way' and 'school' are the information
words. If you understand those three words, you can understand
the question.
 We also stress any words that we think are important to help the
listener understand us, e.g.
I'm always in a hurry. (I'm not sometimes nor often but always
in a hurry.)

6. Question formation. Write questions. Listen and check.

Notice that none of the missing words are stressed.

drives him to the station where he checks in with his supervisor. Then, he

gets on Bus #405 and starts the engine. He pulls out of the parking lot and

begins his route. At his first stop, he picks up Mrs. Miller, who lives in a red

house on the corner of Main Street and Seventh Avenue. She works at the

post office and has to be to work by 9:00. At the next stop, the Bartlett twins

get on the bus. They attend class at Bayside Elementary. More children get
