Adverbs of Frequency
We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do things. Adverbs of
frequency go before all verbs EXCEPT the verb to be.
De menos a mas:
Never hardly ever rarely (seldom) sometimes usually (often)- always
Note 1: Remember that with never and hardly ever we use POSITIVE sentences.
Example:
- We dont never smoke. (INCORRECT)
- We never smoke.
Note 2: With dont and doesnt we use the adverb of frequency after these and before
the verb.
Example:
- We dont usually travel.
Note 3: Sometimes can go at the beginning of the sentence. (Sometimes puede ir al
comienzo de una oracin)
The adverbs of frequency answer the typical question starting with How often.
Examples:
1) How often do you brush your teeth?
I always brush my teeth
2) How often does your mother cook?
She seldom/rarely cooks.
3) How often is Claudio late for class.
He is never late for class
** How often = Con que frecuencia. Para decir la horas exacta uno tambien puede
preguntar (What time?) Para responder la hora exacta utilizamos la preposicion at
antes de la hora.
Ejemplo:
What time do you wake up?
I wake up at 7:00 am.
Lets Practice
Before we practice we need to learn some common verbs that we do everyday.
