a. daily, weekly, yearly
b. often, sometimes, rarely
ALWAYS | OFTEN | SOMETIMES | NOT OFTEN | NEVER |
| Normally regularly | occasionally | Hardly ever | |
Examples:

ADVERB PHRASES:

PRESENT PERFECT
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified timebefore now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
Examples:
*I have seen that movie twenty times
* Have you read the book yet?

SIMPLE PAST AND PAST PROGRESSIVE
SIMPLE PAST: Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.
Examples:
* I saw a movie yesterday.
* I didn'tsee a play yesterday.
PAST PROGRESSIVE: Use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.
Examples:
* I was watching TV when she called.
* When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.

COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVESCOMPARATIVE: The comparative form, which is made be adding -er or a preceding more to the positive form, shows either a greater degree than the positive form or a makes a comparison between two persons or things.
Examples:
* They chose a darker brown paint than their neighbours.
* The dancer moved more gracefully than the actor.

SUPERLATIVES:The superlative form, which is made by adding -est or a preceding most to the positive form, shows the greatest degree of a quality or quantity among three or more persons or things.
Examples:
* They chose the darkest brown they could find.
* The dancer moved the most gracefully of all the performers.

DYNAMIC AND STATIVE MEANINGS
