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 don’t never smoke. (INCORRECT)
- We never smoke.
Note 2: Withdon’t and doesn’t we use the adverb of frequency after these and before the verb.
Example:
- We don’t usually travel.
Note 3: Sometimes can go at the beginning of the sentence. (Sometimes puede ir alcomienzo de una oración)
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 doesyour 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 puedepreguntar (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.
