 Adverbs give us more information about a verb. Adverbs of frequency tell us how
often an activity happens. There are many adverbs to choose from. Here are some
of the most common ones:

Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence

100% always I always go to bed before 11 p.m.

90% usually I usually have cereal for breakfast.
80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym.
70% often* / frequently I often surf the internet.
50% sometimes I sometimes forget my wife's birthday.
30% occasionally I occasionally eat junk food.
10% seldom I seldom read the newspaper.
5% hardly ever / rarely I hardly ever drink alcohol.
0% never I never swim in the sea.

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

+ +
I always remember to do my homework.
He normally gets good marks in exams.
She often takes her vacation in winter.
I always eat breakfast.
They sometimes take a taxi.

They go after the verb ‘to be’.

+ +
They are never pleased to see me.
She is often ill in winter.
I am always late for work.
He is often ready for work at 6 am.

When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed
between the auxiliary and the main verb.

+ + +
She can sometimes beat me in a race.
I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.
They might never see each other again.
They could occasionally be heard laughing.
You should always wear a helmet.
I can sometimes hear my neighbors’ TV.

-We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence: Usually, normally, often,
frequently, sometimes, occasionally.

Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food.

-We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs:

She hardly ever comes to my parties.

They never say 'thank you'.
The weather is never sunny.

The adverb of frequency goes between the auxiliary and the main verb.

We don’t usually watch TV after lunch.

They can’t always wait for you.

It goes after ‘to be’.

I am not always this organized.

They aren’t usually late.

For questions, the order is auxiliary + subject + adverb + verb.

Do you always eat here?

Does he usually do that?

We use ever in questions and negative statements:

Have you ever been to New Zealand?

I haven't ever been to Switzerland. (The same as 'I have never been Switzerland').

-Sometimes can go before the subject, before the main verb, and after the main verb.

Sometimes we go fishing.
We sometimes go fishing.
We go fishing sometimes.
