— Now let’s talk about the adverbs of frequency.
Adverbs of frequency
Наречия частотности
They describe how often an action happens.
There are five main adverbs of frequency that we use in English.
And they are:
Always (всегда)
Usually (обычно)
Often (часто)
Sometimes (иногда)
Never (никогда)
We put the adverbs of frequency before the main verbs and after the modal verbs and the verb “to be”.
For example:
Molly usually gets up at 7’clock.
Kyle can never sleep in the afternoon.
Colin and Erin are always very active!
