I asked a similar question in another thread, but I wanted to know why this order is wrong. It seems that any time you have an adverb that is related to a point in time, the adverb goes before the time and not before the verb.
我一般学习 - I usually study
(Subject - Adverb - Verb)
我一般星期三学习 - I usually study on Wednesday
(Subject - Adverb - Time - Verb)
你一般几点学习 ? - What time do you usually study ?
(Subject - Adverb - Time - Verb)
When the time relates to duration (how long a verb takes), the adverb goes in front of the verb and the time comes after.
我一般学习三个小时 - I usually study for three hours
(Subject - Adverb - Verb - Time)
