A Guide to Adverbs of Frequency in English
Understanding how to use adverbs of frequency helps learners to convey how often they do something. These adverbs can be placed before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be.’ Here’s a table with common adverbs of frequency, their corresponding percentages, and examples of how to use them in sentences.
| Adverb | Frequency | Position in Sentence | Example Sentences |
|---|---|---|---|
| Always | 100% | Before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be’ | I always brush my teeth before bed. / They are always on time. |
| Usually | 80% | Before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be’ | She usually takes the bus to work. / He is usually friendly. |
| Often | 60% | Before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be’ | We often go out for dinner on Fridays. / It is often sunny here. |
| Sometimes | 40% | Before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be’ | I sometimes watch movies in the evening. / They are sometimes late. |
| Occasionally | 30% | Before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be’ | He occasionally plays tennis on weekends. / She is occasionally absent. |
| Seldom | 20% | Before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be’ | They seldom visit us these days. / It is seldom that cold here. |
| Rarely | 10% | Before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be’ | She rarely eats fast food. / He is rarely upset. |
| Never | 0% | Before the main verb or after the verb ‘to be’ | I never go to bed after midnight. / They are never rude. |
Learners can use these adverbs to talk about their habits, routines, and experiences. For example:
- “I usually start my day with a cup of coffee.”
- “We sometimes have meetings in the afternoon.”
- “She rarely misses a class.”
Encourage learners to practice these adverbs by speaking or writing about their own routines, as frequent use will lead to greater fluency and comfort with the language.
