What are adverbs of frequency?
Adverbs of frequency are used to say how often we do things or how often things happen. Here are some common adverbs of frequency (in order from most frequent to least frequent):always (завжди)(do 100% of the time - e.g. She always drinks coffee in the morning.)
almost always (майже завжди) / nearly always (
often (часто)
usually (зазвичай)
sometimes (іноді) (do 40%-60% of the time - e.g. I sometimes go for a walk in the evening.)
rarely / seldom (рідео)
hardly ever ( навряд чи колись) / almost never ( майже ніколи)
never (ніколи) (do 0% of the time - e.g. He never passes his English test.)
Adverb position
An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb in a sentence:
I often play tennis on Sundays. (subject + adverb + main verb)
However, the exception is when the sentence contains the verb 'to be'. In this case it goes after the verb:
I am usually hungry after school. (subject + to be + adverb)
In addition, when there is an auxiliary verb (e.g. have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.
She can almost always beat her brother at chess. (subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb)
These adverbs of freqnecy can also be used at the beginning of a sentence:
Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally
Sometimes, I go shopping on Sundays.(adverb + subject + main verb)
