I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because OP was based on a typo. – Weather Vane Aug 14 '19 at 17:16

A: In the first sentence, the "I" is optional, and its placing can be changed too.
I usually drive to work, but sometimes walk.
I usually drive to work, but I sometimes walk.
I usually drive to work, but sometimes I walk.
B: In the second sentence, it is wrong, because "I" needs a verb. It should be
I sometimes walk to work, but not very often.
If you want to use another "I" it could be like this
I sometimes walk to work, but I don't walk very often.
I sometimes walk to work, but I don't do that very often.
I sometimes walk to work, but I usually drive.

I saw these sentences in a grammar book but now I found that there was a typographical error in the book. Thank you very much. – majid omrani bidi Aug 14 '19 at 13:02
