Grammar question. Adverb placement.?

Question:Why is the question,
"Did you go to bed early last night?"
correct,
but it you want to use an adverb like "often", or "sometimes" as in,
"Do you often go to bed early?"
it would come before "go to bed", but you can't ask, "Did you early to to bed last night?"

Answers:
Usually it follows or goes before the verb not all the time, however.
Adverbs of time are usually put at the end of the sentence.


Adverbs of frequency are put directly before the main verb. If 'be' is the main verb and there is no auxiliary verb, adverbs of frequency are put behind 'be'. Is there an auxiliary verb, however, adverbs of frequency are put before 'be'.
