Adverbs of Frecuency

"El lenguaje es el vestido de los pensamientos" (Samuel Johnson)

Hi! I'm Samira Medellin.

Today we are going to learn about the adverbs of frequency, these adverbs are used in the present simple.

I hope you like it. 

Adverbs of frequency 

With the present simple, we often use adverbs of frequency to say 'How often' we do something. Here's a list of common adverbs:

• Frequently
• generally
• hardly ever
• infrequently
• never
• normally
• occasionally
• often
• rarely
• regularly
• seldom
• sometimes
• usually
• Always

We usually put these adverbs in the middle of the sentence, between the subject and the verb:

• I often go to the cinema.
• She sometimes visits me at home.
• We usually drink coffee.

We can also put them at the very beginning or end of the sentence. This makes them stronger:

• Often I go to the cinema.
• I go to the cinema often.
• But never: I go often to the cinema

Here are some other expressions we can use to say 'how often'. All of these longer phrases go at the beginning or the end of the sentence but not in the middle.

• Once in a while: I go to the cinema once in a while.
