                                                                     the soccer team.



How often do you exercise?               I lift weights every day.
                                                           I go jogging about once a week.
                                                           I play basketball twice a month.
                                                           I exercise about three times a year
                                                           I don`t exercise very often.


Do you ever watch television in the evening?     Yes, I almost always watch TV after                                                                                     dinner.
                                                                              I sometimes watch TV before bed.
                                                                              I seldom watch TV in the evening.
                                                                              No, I never watch TV


We use adverbs of frequency to talk about how often we do something. We place them:

* Before the main verb. Ex:  John often plays football on Saturdays

* After the verb BE.  Ex: She is never late for school.
