ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY
We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do things. Adverbs of frequency go before all verbs EXCEPT the verb to be.

EXAMPLES: John rarely drives fast. John is sometimes crazy.

Note 1: Remember that with never and hardly ever we use POSITIVE sentences.


Example: - We don’t never smoke. (INCORRECT) - We never smoke.

Note 2: With don’t and doesn’t we use the adverb of frequency after these and before the verb. Example: - We don’t usually travel.

Note 3: Sometimes can go at the beginning of the sentence. (Sometimes puede ir al comienzo de una oración)



COMPLETE THE SENTENCES WITH AN ADVERB OF FREQUENCY

1) They _________ drive. They don´t have a car.

2) I _______ eat turkey. (Only at Christmas)

3) She doesn’t have a watch so she’s _________ late.

4) We __________ get up at 8:00, except Saturdays and Sundays.

5) I ________ play tennis (when I have time)


EXERCISE:
REWRITE THESE SENTENCES IN THE CORRECT ORDER.

1.- to the mountains / never / we / go

_________________________________

2- often / she / write to me / doesn´t

_______________________________

3.-usually / arrives late / the bus
