Please consider these examples:
- The flower seller was in his usual place.
- I’ll put the keys in the usual place.
In my sentences, we say usual place, meaning that something or someone is usually (not always) in; but what about the permanent situation. In other words, what shall I say when I want to say "the flower seller" or "the keys" are always there? What adjective do you normally use in that sense?
I am not sure I know an adjective that could easily be substituted directly into the sentences you give. However here is how I would phrase such a sentence:
Since "usual" is an adjective, while "always" is an adverb you would have to add an additional verb for always to modify:
The flower seller was where he always was
I will put the keys where they always go
These sort of change the connotation by a lot. They make the text less neutral, and have more of an annoyed tone. At the very least they are more emotional then the original sentences.
