A: When do you finish work? B: At five usually. (This year)

B: When did you finish work? B: At five usually. (Last year)



is the second version okay? in other words: is `usually� used with the past tense to express past habits?

Please comment.

In example A I would usually reverse the answer to the question:

When do you finish work? Usually at five. (This year)

Hope that helps
