‘Adverbs of frequency show us how often something
happens. They answer the question: ‘How often ...2". We
often use adverbs of frequency with the present simple.
“How often does Stella go abroad on holiday?”
“Never. She never goes abroad.”
‘We use adverbs of frequency:
a) before the main verb,
Bob always has breakfast with his children
b)after the auxiliary verbs be, have, do and
modal verbs such as can, wil, must, etc.
Our new neighbour is always so friendly to everyone.
Bob doesn’t usually chink coffee in the morning.
Note: The adverbs rarely/seldom/hardly ever and
never have a negative meaning, and they are
never used with the word not.
