用法筆記

Recently commonly appears with past simple, present perfect, and present perfect continuous tenses. It usually goes before the main verb (mid-position) or at the start or end of a sentence for emphasis. Present simple is not used with recently because it refers to habits or facts, not finished past events.

I recently went to the cinema with my friends.
Recently refers to a past time, so use a past tense like simple past or present perfect, not present simple.
