Learning Objective:. Understand and use frequency adverbs

Adverbs of frequency are used to say how often we do things or how often things happen.
Here are some common adverbs of frequency (in order from most frequent to least frequent):

•always (do 100% of the time - e.g. She always drinks coffee in the morning.)

•almost always / nearly always
•often
•usually / frequently
•sometimes (do approximatley 40%-60% of the time - e.g. I sometimes go for a walk in the
evening.)
•occasionally
•rarely / seldom
•hardly ever / almost never
•never (do 0% of the time - e.g. He never passes his English test.)

Lesson 1 - Vocabulary
How often do you …?

Learning Objective:. Understand and use frequency adverbs

Adverb position
An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb in a sentence:
•I often play tennis on Sundays. (subject + adverb + main verb)

However, the exception is when the sentence contains the verb 'to be'. In this
case it goes after the verb:
•I am usually hungry after school. (subject + to be + adverb)
In addition, when there is an auxiliary verb (e.g. have, will, must, might, could,
would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary verb and the main
verb.

•She can almost always beat her brother at chess. (subject + auxiliary

+ adverb + main verb)
These adverbs of freqnecy can also be used at the beginning of a sentence:
Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally

•Sometimes, I go shopping on Sundays.(adverb + subject + main verb)
