<p>You just happened to pick one of the (apparently) few English
adverbials that doesn't work well in the imperative mood.</p>
<p><i>Carefully study!<br>
Quickly study!<br>
Never study!</i></p>
<p>All no problem. Without objects, these would more likely be <i>Study
carefully!, Study quickly!,</i> but still <i>Never study!</i>
With objects, these are more likely to be <i>Carefully study the
lesson!, Quickly study the lesson!, Never study the lesson!,</i>
but the adverb following the verb still works in an archaic style.</p>
<p>It's just that you generally don't use <i>usually</i> in the
imperative mood. It's the exception, so using it as your
comparison to Klingon gives you a bad example to follow.</p>
<p>If Klingon has the subtleties of English adverbs, we don't know
of them.<br>
