Questions & Answers about Stundum fara kærastar og kærustur saman í bíó á kvöldin.
Stundum means “sometimes”. It’s an adverb of frequency.

If you start the sentence with the subject, you get:
Kærastar og kærustur fara stundum í bíó.
“Boyfriends and girlfriends sometimes go to the movies.”If you move the adverb Stundum to the front, the verb has to come right after it:
Stundum fara kærastar og kærustur saman í bíó á kvöldin.
