Always/usually/often - A1
Sometimes we need to talk about how often we do things and we have words we can use to do that.
This flashcard will come in handy teaching you three of the frequency words we use!
Take-aways
ALWAYS
Always means 100% of the time.
USUALLY
Usually means MOST of the time. There is NO exact % for it!
I usually drive my daughter to school = Most days I take my daughter by car but sometimes we walk.
We usually have pizza on Friday night = Most Fridays we have pizza but not every Friday.
OFTEN
Often is a little different from 'always' and 'usually' because it means 'a lot of the time'. Generally, it is LESS than 'usually'.
I often have pizza on Fridays = I like to have pizza on Fridays and might do it 3 times a month.
I often walk my dog by the river = I like to walk by the river with my dog. We sometimes go to the park or beach instead
though.
Look out!

Don't forget!
Single words like stop! Or help! are verbs, but 'I am' is a complete sentence and the shortest one in English! (am is the verb!)
Many people think the English always have a cooked breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, mushrooms, toast, and
more!) but this isn't true because most English people often don't have time to make this. They usually have oats, cereal, or
toast instead, and they often have a cup of tea (with milk!) with it, but not always!
