Adverbs of
frequency
Page
107 Grammar reference Adverbs of frequency
• We use frequency adverbs after the verb be:
They are always happy at the weekend.
• We usually put frequency adverbs before other verbs:
I often get home at 5 o'clock.
In negative sentences, frequency adverbs come between don't/doesn't and the verb:
We don't always get up early at the weekend.
We can also use expressions like every day, twice a week, once a year to say how often
something happens. We put these at the beginning or the end of sentences.
Every year, we go on holiday to Italy.
I have piano lessons once a week.
