often you do something. Adverbs of
frequency are often used with the
present simple because they indicate
repeated or routine activities.

3. Adverbs of frequency include (form
most often to least often)

4. If the sentence has one verb (e.g. no
auxiliary verb) put the adverb in the
middle of the sentence after the subject
and before the verb.
Examples

- Janet never flies. She always goes by bus.

5. Adverbs of frequency come after the verb 'be'
Examples
- I am never late for work.
- Peter is often at school.

6. If the sentence has more than one verb (e.g.
auxiliary verb), put the adverb of frequency
before the main verb
Examples
- I can never remember anything!
- They have often visited Rome.

7. When using adverbs of frequency in the
question or negative form, put the adverb
of frequency before the main verb
Examples
