Frequency Adverbs

Frequency adverbs are words that tell us how often something happens. Here are some examples:

• Always: This means something happens all the time. For example, “I always brush my teeth before bed.”

• Usually: This means something happens most of the time. For example, “I usually eat breakfast before school.”

• Sometimes: This means something happens occasionally. For example, “I sometimes play video games on the weekends.”

• Rarely: This means something happens very infrequently. For example, “I rarely eat candy because it’s not good for me.”

• Never: This means something doesn’t happen at all. For example, “I never forget to do my homework.”

It’s important to use frequency adverbs when we talk about our routines and habits. They help us to be clear and specific about how often we do things.

Practice using frequency adverbs by asking yourself and others questions like:

• How often do you brush your teeth?
• Do you usually eat breakfast in the morning?
• Do you sometimes forget your homework?
• How often do you play sports?
• Do you rarely eat vegetables?

Remember, using frequency adverbs helps us to communicate clearly and effectively!
