Not needed

Below is the answer to my question published by The Star and reproduced (both question and answer) from The Star Online Mind Our English Thursday August 20, 2009:-

I REFER to the sentence quoted as one of the examples in the answers to questions under Base form (Mind Our English, July 30).

4. She always helps her mother cook the dinner every day.

I feel that always is a tautology which has no justification to earn its keep there (though it can mean without exception). – Kengt, Penang

Thank you for pointing out the tautology in my sentence. You are quite right. “Always” should not have been there.
