Let’s
Study
This
This list will
help you
associate
the adverbs
of
frequency
with the
concept of
relative
repetition or
frequency.
 We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do
something. Adverbs of frequency are often used with the
present simple because they indicate repeated or routine
activities.
They often go out for dinner.
I never go to the cinema. I don't like it.
I don't mind going to the theater. I sometimes go with my
friends.
Never say never.
She likes dancing. She always goes to the night club to
dance.
They usually quarrel. I rarely see them in good terms
with each other.
Other adverbs of frequency include:
Occasionally
Frequently
Position of adverbs of frequency
Generally speaking, adverbs of frequency
come before the main verb except the main
verb "to be":

I sometimes visit my uncle.

We often see him pass by the house.

They are seldom at work.

Occasionally, sometimes, often,
frequently and usually
can also go at the beginning or end of a
sentence.
Examples:
Sometimes they visit him.
They visit him sometimes.
I miss him occasionally.
Rarely and seldom can also go at the
end of a sentence (often with "very"):

We see them very rarely.

John eats meat very seldom.
Let’s
Do
This
Task 1. Work in pairs. Share the things you do
using adverbs of frequency. Pupil 1 will give his
sentence first, then pupil 2 may respond to pupil
1’s statement.
Example:
Pupil 1: I sometimes study my lesson.
Pupil 2: I never study my lesson that’s why my
mother always gets angry.
Pupil 1: I always bring my cell phone.
Pupil 2: I rarely bring mine.

Task 2. Guess Who?
Work by group. Ask one of your members to
describe a person’s routine using adverbs of
frequency until you and your groupmates guess
who he/she is speaking about. Your assigned one
member may describe your classmates or famous
people.
Example:
These news anchors always TV Patrol.
