ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY
WARM UP
Choose four students and apply them the following survey
ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY
Kevin never comes to computer class. He spends a lot of time with his friends from
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.
