    Do the adverbs always go at the front of the sentence? I always seem to misplace those

      No, you can say 'Éva gyakran fest fákat' as well :D

        How about Éva fákat szokott festeni? Is this also an option?

          Yes... and no. Now is not a correct solution. BUT Éva szokott fákat festeni. is maybe good as well, but it means: Éva paints trees. Your sentense (Éva fákat szokott festeni.) means that Éva paints ONLY trees.

            Yeah, I thought so. I meant the grammar structure with "szokott" per sé. I am still struggling with the word order in Hungarian! :-D Thank you!

              Why not use "töbször" instead of gyakran to mean ' often'

                Is there a rule, why fákAt, not fákOt?
