What are adverbs of frequency?\n\nAdverbs of frequency tell us how often something happens.\n\nThey answer the question: \"How often?\"\n\nExamples:\n\n* How often do you drink coffee? — I sometimes drink coffee.\n* How often do you read books? — I never read books.\n\nUsing adverbs of frequency allows you to talk about habits, routines, and repeated actions.\n\n## 2. Common adverbs of frequency\n\n* **Always (100%)**\n    * Meaning: 100% of the time\n    * Example: I always wake up at 7:00.\n* **Usually**\n    * Meaning: more than half the time (very common)\n    * Example: I usually wake up at 7:00.\n* **Often**\n    * Meaning: many times (common)\n    * Example: I often wake up at 7:00.\n* **Sometimes**\n    * Meaning: on some days \u002F at some times (not always)\n    * Example: I sometimes wake up at 7:00.\n* **Rarely**\n    * Meaning: not often\n    * Example: I rarely wake up at 7:00.\n* **Hardly ever**\n    * Meaning: almost never\n    * Example: I hardly ever wake up at 7:00.\n* **Never (0%)**\n    * Meaning: 0% of the time\n    * Example: I never wake up at 7:00.\n\n### Frequency scale (general guide)\n\n* always → usually → often → sometimes → rarely → hardly ever → never\n\nThese percentages are approximate — they help you understand the general meaning of each word.\n\n## 3. Sentence structure\n\n### 3.1 With the verb \"be\" (affirmative)\n\nStructure:\n\n> Subject → be → adverb → complement\n\nWhen the main verb is be (am, is, are), place the adverb after the verb:\n\n* I am always happy.\n* She is never late.\n* They are hardly ever tired.\n\n### 3.2 With other verbs (affirmative)\n\nStructure:\n\n> Subject → adverb → verb → object\u002Frest of sentence\n\nWhen the main verb is not be, place the adverb before the main verb:\n\n* I always eat breakfast.\n* We sometimes watch movies.\n* He hardly ever drinks soda.\n\nSometimes and often can also go at the beginning or end:\n\n* Sometimes I eat breakfast.\n* I eat breakfast sometimes.\n* Often, we watch movies at home.\n\nMost adverbs of frequency go before the main verb. Sometimes and often can also go at the beginning or end of a sentence.\n\n### 3.3 Negative sentences with \"be\"\n\nIn negative sentences, the adverb still goes in the same position — after be:\n\n* She is not always happy.\n* She isn’t always happy.\n\nNote: Never, rarely, and hardly ever are not used with not — they are already negative in meaning.\n\n### 3.4 Negative sentences with other verbs\n\nIn negative sentences, the adverb still goes in the same position — before the main verb:\n\n* I don’t often eat chocolate.\n* She doesn’t always study ahead.\n\nImportant: Do not use 'not' with never\u002Frarely\u002Fhardly ever (avoid double negatives).\n\n* Incorrect: I don’t never eat pizza.\n* Correct: I never eat pizza.\n\n## 4. Asking about frequency\n\n### 4.1 How often…?\n\nWe can ask about frequency with How often…?\n\nQuestion:\n\n* \"How often do you study English?\"\n\nAnswers:\n\n* \"I always study English.\"\n* \"I usually study English.\"\n* \"I sometimes study English.\"\n* \"I hardly ever study English.\"\n* \"I never study English.\"\n\n## 5. Other expressions of frequency\n\nYou can also use phrases to say how often something happens. These phrases go at the end of the sentence.\n\n* Once a day\n    * I brush my teeth once a day.\n* Twice a week\n    * I see my friend twice a week.\n* Three times a month\n    * I go shopping three times a month.\n* Every day\n    * I go to school every day.\n* Every week\n    * We have a meeting every week.","en","A1",9,[12],{"id":13,"name":14,"level":9,"language":8,"isCompleted":15,"completionPercentage":16,"totalExercises":17,"completedExercises":16,"vocabularyLists":18},"019aeddd-05a1-705a-b9eb-aae61d0d9ae2","Adverbs of Frequency (always, usually, sometimes)",false,0,2,[19],{"id":20,"title":21,"grammarTopic":22,"displayOrder":23,"vocabularyListWords":24,"isPublished":38},"019ba836-74c0-77c1-b466-527281ebfc2e","Adverbs of frequency","\u002Fapi\u002Fgrammar_topics\u002F019aeddd-05a1-705a-b9eb-aae61d0d9ae2",6,[25,41,53,67,80,93,105],{"id":26,"vocabularyWord":27,"displayOrder":39},"019ba841-b1d9-77ac-b55c-7e85b1fdc20e",{"id":28,"word":29,"frequency":10,"level":30,"language":8,"audioFilePath":31,"partsOfSpeech":32,"audio":38,"audioUrl":40},"019b4697-703c-7c7c-9f6b-0750f8b908fc","always","A2","tts_2528a761db89e62a_en-US.mp3",[33],{"id":34,"partOfSpeech":35,"definition":36,"exampleSentences":37,"isPrimary":38,"meaningOrder":39},"019b7c30-821b-7ab2-9964-c195e130b15b","ADVERB","At all times;
