DISCUSSION
What are adverbs of frequency?
Adverbs that change or qualify the
meaning of a sentence by telling us how often or how frequently something
happens are defined as adverbs of frequency.
An adverb of frequency is exactly
what it sounds like – an adverb of time. Adverbs of frequency always describe
how often something occurs, either in definite or indefinite terms.
An adverb that describes definite frequency is one
such as weekly, daily, or yearly. An adverb describing indefinite frequency
doesn’t specify an exact time frame; examples are sometimes, often, and rarely.
Adverbs of Frequency Rules
These simple rules for adverbs of
frequency will help you to use them correctly:
·
Always use adverbs of frequency to
discuss how often something happens.
·
Adverbs of frequency are often used
to indicate routine or repeated activities, so they are often used with the
present simple tense.
·
If a sentence has only one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of
the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb.
For example: Tom never flies. He always takes the bus.
·
When a sentence contains more than
one verb, place the adverb of frequency before the main verb. For example: They
have often visited Europe.
·
When using an adverb of frequency in
the negative or in forming a question, place it before the main verb. For
example: Do you usually get up so late?
Examples of Adverbs of Frequency
Each sentence contains an example of
an adverb of frequency; the examples are italicized for easy identification.
1. The
incubator turns each egg hourly.
2. We
take a vacation at least once annually.
3. I usually shop
for groceries on Saturday mornings.
4. He
is often late for work.
5. We seldom see
John.
6. My
dentist told me I should floss twice daily.

The Position of the Adverb in a
Sentence
An adverb of frequency goes before a
main verb (except with To Be).
|
Subject + adverb + main verb
|
|
I always remember to
do my homework.
|
|
He normally gets good
marks in exams.
|
|
Subject + to be + adverb
|
|
They are never pleased
to see me.
|
|
She isn't usually bad
tempered.
|
When
we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main
verb. This is also true for to be.
|
Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main
verb
|
|
She can sometimes beat me
in a race.
|
|
I would hardly
ever be unkind to someone.
|
|
They might never see each
other again.
|
|
They could occasionally be heard
laughing.
|
We can also use the following
adverbs at the start of a sentence:
Usually, normally, often,
frequently, sometimes, occasionally
- Occasionally, I like to eat
Thai food.
BUT we cannot use
the following at the beginning of a sentence:
Always, seldom, rarely, hardly,
ever, never.
We use hardly ever and never with
positive, not negative verbs:
- She hardly ever comes
to my parties.
- They never say
'thank you'.
We use ever in
questions and negative statements:
- Have you ever been
to New Zealand?
- I haven't ever been
to Switzerland. (The same as 'I have never been Switzerland').
Adverbs of Definite Frequency
We
can also use the following expressions when we want to be more specific about
the frequency:
- every day
- once a month
- twice a year
- four times a day
- every other week
- daily
- monthly
