siempre bob no es malvado , sino solo a veces.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

@Bob: "no siempre Bob es malvado, sino sólo a veces" or "Bob no es malvado siempre, sino sólo aveces" would sound better.

"Siempre" can be at the start of a sentence when you want to stress something that actually always happens.
