What are definite adverbs of frequency?

Definite adverbs include words such as: daily, annually, once a week, once,
twice, every day. They’re used to answer the question of “How often?” in a
more specific way.

For example, you might answer the question,

“How often do you practise speaking English at home?” by saying,
“I practise every day” or “I practise twice a week.”

These are easy to use since they always go at the beginning or end of a
sentence.

You can also use days of the week as definite adverbs of frequency. For
example, “On Sundays, I go for a walk” or “Every Saturday, I visit my parents.”
Using indefinite adverbs
Indefinite adverbs of frequency are a little more complicated, but you’ll probably hear them
used a lot.
These include words such as: always, constantly, usually, a lot, normally, frequently,
regularly, often, sometimes, occasionally, infrequently, rarely, seldom, hardly ever, and
never.

Where do they go in a sentence? That’s where it gets complicated.

Just one verb
Indefinite adverbs of frequency usually come before the main verb, as with the sentence,
“She constantly looks at her phone.”
Whenever there’s a sentence with a helping, or auxiliary, verb, the adverb goes before the
main verb. For example, “He has never been late for work.”
Except the verb be
The verb be is one exception to this rule. Adverbs usually come after the verb be in a
sentence. For instance, “My teacher is always punctual.”
First or last in a sentence?
You might see an indefinite adverb at the beginning or end of a sentence, especially when it’s
used for emphasis.
For example, in the sentence, “Sometimes, Jane eats ice cream for dessert,” the
word sometimes is emphasized by appearing at the beginning of the sentence.

Most adverbs of frequency can also go at the end of a sentence, as in, “David
travels frequently.”

However, the words always, rarely, and seldom cannot go at the end of a sentence.

Negative sentences
If you want to use an adverb of frequency in the negative form, simply put the adverb before
main verb as usual: “She doesn’t usually cook.”
Just be sure not to use negative adverbs, such as rarely, seldom, and never, in a negative
sentence.
