Frequency
An adverb of frequency describes how often an action happens. There are
six main adverbs of frequency that we use in English: always, usually (or
normally), often, sometimes, rarely, and never. How do you usually introduce or
elicit these from your students?
Always (siempre)
Usually ( usualmente)
Normally // Generally (normalmente // generalmente)
Often // Frequently (frecuentemente // a menudo)
Sometimes (algunas veces)
Occasionally (ocasionalmente)
Seldom (pocas veces)
Hardly ever // Rarely (casi nunca // rara vez)
Never (nunca)
Sometimes, usually, normally, frequently, often and occasionally can also
go at the beginning or end of a sentence (en ocasiones, los adverbios
indicados, pueden ir al principio o al final de la oración).
o Sometimes I walk to work.
o Do you see your parentes often?
Frequency expressions or adverbs phrases of frequency (every evening, once a
week, twice a week…) normally go at the end a clause (las «expresiones de
frecuencia» se colocan al final de la oración).
o I watch TV every evening.
o I go to the cinema twice a week.
Put the following adverbs of frequency in the correct order from the most
often to the least often (1-6):
often
usually
always
never
seldom/rarely
sometimes
Rewrite the complete sentence using the adverb of frequency in brackets in its
correct position.
