Adverb of Degree and Frequency; /tokidoki/, and /amari/

I sometimes go to a coffee shop.

• I go to a coffee shop  --> わたしは　きっさてんに　  いきます
• sometimes [Adverb] --> ときどき /tokidoki/
• The event described by /ik/ 'go; will go' has two roles: one the actor, and the other the goal of that movement.

Key 1: No adverb MUST have any postposition follow them to modify verb. That is, adverb alone, without any case form or postposition attached to its end, modifies verb.

Key 2: There is no difference in the truth-conditional meanings between a clause with an order among a SUBJECT phrase, an OBJECT phrase, topic phrases, postpositional phrases, and time adverbials, and another clause with a different order among them.
