Tu leur rendais souvent visite
“Tu leur rendais souvent visite” - why split rendre visite?
This question relates to:French lesson "Using the compound tense (Le Passé Composé) on its own or with the imperfect tense (L'Imparfait)"
Asked 4 years ago
Hi Jo,
Simply to modify the verb rendre with the adverb souvent to express "frequently / often" rather than just "visit"
So it is the difference between "paying a visit" and "paying a visit frequently / often"
Hope this helps.

Yes, the default position of an adverb is right after the first conjugated verb.
