Casi todas preguntas en inglés necesita verbo auxiliar (is, do, does, don't, etc.). La estructura más común sería verbo auxiliar + sujeto + usually + verbo principal.

Examples:

  • Does he usually wear that hat?
  • Is he usually so mean?
  • Don't they usually go there?
  • Why isn't he usually on time?
  • Why does he usually eat eggs for lunch?

Grammatically, "Does he usually wear that hat?" / "Does he wear that hat usually?" / "Usually, does he wear that hat?" are all possible but, as already suggested, usage favors the first.

I don't know if the last 2 are correct or not, but they sure sound awkward and tend to break the flow of the sentence. - 005faa61, May 28, 2010

Pero, es possible también que se cambie oración en pregunta. En este caso, la estructura sería sujeto + usually + verbo.

Ejemplo:

oración: You usually wear red shirts.

pregunta: You usually wear red shirts?

En cualquier caso, usually se coloca justo antes del verbo principal...normalmente. - webdunce, May 28, 2010
Normally we use the auxiliary "do" to make a question - "Do you usually wear red shirts?" - - ian-hill, May 28, 2010
