Adverb of Frequency

Adverb of Frequency
Use adverbs of frequency to say how
often you do something. Adverbs of
frequency are often used with the
present simple because they indicate
repeated or routine activities.
For example
- They often go out for dinner.
Adverbs of frequency include (form
most often to least often)
If the sentence has one verb (e.g. no
auxiliary verb) put the adverb in the
middle of the sentence after the subject
and before the verb.
Examples
- Tom usually goes to work by car .

- Janet never flies. She always goes by bus.


Adverbs of frequency come after the verb 'be'

Examples

- I am never late for work.


- Peter is often at school.
If the sentence has more than one verb (e.g.
auxiliary verb), put the adverb of frequency
before the main verb

Examples

- I can never remember anything!


- They have often visited Rome.
When using adverbs of frequency in the
question or negative form, put the adverb
of frequency before the main verb

Examples

- She doesn't often visit Europe.


- Do you usually get up early?
