Adverbs of frequency

We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do things, or how often things happen.

There are lots of adverbs of frequency but in this unit we study the list below:

    - always (7 out of 7 days a week)

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday

    - usually (6 out of 7 days a week)

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday

    - often  (3 or 4 out of 7 days a week)

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday

    - sometimes  (1 or 2 out of 7 days a week)

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday

- never  (0 out of 7 days a week)

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday

100% |  |  |  | 0%
always | usually | often | sometimes | never

Position of the adverbs of frequency

We usually put adverbs of frequency between the subject and the main verb.

examples:    She always plays tennis on Monday.
You sometimes eat apples in the afternoon.
They never drink Coca-cola.

Or between the auxiliary and the main verb.

examples:     She doesn't always play tennis on Monday.
You don't usually eat apples in the afternoon.

But they come after the verb to be.

examples:    She is always in the park
You are never late to school.

Simple present: Affirmative

We form the simple present using a name (or a personal pronoun) and the infinitive of the verb (without TO).

example: You play tennis.

In 3rd person singular ( he / she / it ) we add an S to the verb.

example: He plays tennis.

Simple present: Negative

We form negative of the simple present using the auxiliary verb do and the negative not (don't) between the subject and the verb .

example: You  don't play tennis.

Simple present: Interrogative

We form the interrogative of the simple present tense using the auxiliary verb do before the subject and adding a question mark ( ? ) at the end of the question.

In 3rd person singular ( he / she / it ) we use does before the subject and the verb ( without S).

example: Does he play tennis?
