We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity.
These are called adverbs of frequency and include:
* Some people pronounce the 'T' in often but many others do not.
The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence:
An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).
Subject + adverb + main verb
- I always remember to do my homework.
- He normally gets good marks in exams.
An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.
Subject + to be + adverb
- They are never pleased to see me.
- She isn't usually bad tempered.
Making Questions:
We use How often to ask questions about frequency. How often comes at the beginning of the question:
- How often do you go to the cinema?
- How often does she use the computer?
Negative:
- We don't often spend the weekends with friends.
- He doesn't always use computer.
