2. What are adverbs of frequency?
Adverbs that change or qualify the meaning of a sentence by telling us how often
or how frequently something happens are defined as adverbs of frequency.
An adverb of frequency is exactly what it sounds like – an adverb of time.
Adverbs of frequency always describe how often something occurs, either in
definite or indefinite terms. An adverb that describes definite frequency is one
such as weekly, daily, or yearly. An adverb describing indefinite frequency doesn’t
specify an exact time frame; examples are sometimes, often, and rarely.

3. The percentages
The percentages, of course, are approximate. No one expects you to
count and measure how often you do something. They are meant to give
you and idea of how each adverb is used. The only ones that are
absolute are always and never.
Always–100% of the time
Almost always–80-99% of the time
Usually, frequently, regularly, often–51-79% of the time
Sometimes–50 % of the time
Occasionally–30-49% of the time
Rarely, seldom–10-29% of the time
Hardly ever, almost never–1-9 % of the time
Never–0 % of the time

4. Adverbs of frequency with be verb
When you use an adverb of frequency with be, use the following formula:
subject + be + adverb of frequency
He is often sick
They were never happy in Florida
Next year I will always be available to help you
Adverbs of frequency with all other verbs
To use an adverb of frequency with all other verbs, use the following formula:
subject + adverb of frequency + verb
He rarely eats breakfast
My cousin almost always takes the highway to work

5. When Using for Emphasis
For emphasis, we can put the adverb at the beginning or end of the sentence.
adverb / subject / main verb / predicate
Sometimes we go to school by bus.
Often he waits for her after class.
Usually, Peter arrives early for work.
In Question Form
When using adverbs of frequency in the question form, put the adverb before the
main verb.
auxiliary verb / subject / adverb / main verb / predicate
Do you often go to the cinema?
Did he sometimes leave the classroom?
Do they usually come late to class?

6. In the Negative Form
When using adverbs of frequency in the negative form, put the adverb before the main
verb.
subject / helping verb / adverb / main verb / predicate
They don't often go to the cinema.
She doesn't usually wait for an answer.
Peter doesn't normally want to come with us.
