Grammar
Adverbial phrases of frequency
We use adverbs of frequency to talk about how frequently an action occurs, or how likely something is to happen.
Common examples include:
Always (100% of the time).
Often / Frequently (more than 70% of the time).
Usually (more than 50% of the time).
Sometimes (about 50% of the time).
Occasionally (varies).
Rarely (less than 30% of the time).
Hardly ever (almost 0%).
Never (0% of the time).
We usually place adverbs of frequency before the main verb:
I usually eat pasta for lunch.
Andy and Ross never tell jokes.
Alexi sometimes walks around his neighbourhood.
Some adverbs of frequency go between the auxiliary verb and the main verb:
I don’t always cook spicy food!
We can sometimes help our neighbours with housework.
She has never seen Berlin, Paris, or Prague.
When we use to be, we always place the adverb of frequency after it:
I’m always late!
You are never on time!
He is usually well-dressed.
Karen is rarely angry.
We can place some adverbs of frequency at the beginning or end of a sentence when we want to emphasize the adverb.
We place usually, often, sometimes and occasionally at the beginning of a sentence, and sometimes and often at the end of the sentence:
I go to the gym often.
Usually you forget to call me!
We usually place expressions like once a year, twice a week, three times a day at the end of the sentence as well.
