Adverbs of frequency (Module 4)

                            ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

• Ever – e.g. "Do you ever go to the cinema?"
• How often – e.g. "How often do you wash your hair?"
• Once – e.g. "I wash my hair once a week."
• Twice – e.g. "I go to the cinema twice a month."
• Always – e.g. "I always wake up at the same time."
• Never – e.g. "I'm never late."
• Often – e.g. "I often have breakfast alone."
• Sometimes – e.g."I sometimes meet new people."
• Occasionally – e.g. "I occasionally make the bed."
• Hardly ever – e.g. "I hardly ever eat fish."

As a general rule adverbs of frequency come before the main verb, except the main verb "to be".

So we say, "I always get up at the same time", and we say, "I'm never late". The adverbs "once" and"twice" come at the end of the sentence. So we say, "I go to the cinema twice a month".
