ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

Adverbs of frequency tell us how frequently something happens. They are used before the main
verb, but after the verb ‘to be’.

ex. He often flies to Paris. Sb + adv + vb

He is sometimes late. Sb + to be + adv

Always 100% ☺☺☺☺ - întotdeauna

Usually 75% ☺☺☺ - de obicei
Often 50% ☺☺ - adesea
Sometimes 25% ☺ - uneori
Never 0% ☹ - niciodată

Ex. I always walk to school.

I usually stay late at school on Monday.
I am often late for school.
I sometimes go out with my friends.
