Algo que debes tener en cuenta al utilizar los adverbios de frecuencia es la posición de estos en la

3 CONCLUSIONS / CONCLUSIONES
We can make questions with the third person (he, she, it) using frequency adverbs.
Remember to use the auxiliary ‘does’ and the base form of the verb.

form.
Does Caroline ever have virtual
classes?
How often does Carlo chat with
friends?
For example:

does y el verbo en forma base:
He hardly ever posts comments.
She usually has virtual classes.
He sometimes chats with
friends.
She usually plays games.
