ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

1. TYPES

2. USE:

   • AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES:
     •    Pattern: Subject + frequency adverb + main verb + (complement)   
     • Frequency adverbs are always placed after the subject and before the main verb and the rest of the sentence.
   • NEGATIVE SENTENCES:
     •    Pattern:   Subject + don't / doesn't + frequency adverb + main verb + (complement)   
     • In negative sentences we place the frequency adverb between the auxiliary don't or doesn't and the main verb.
   • INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES:
     •    Pattern:   Do / does + subject + frequency adverb + main verb + (complement)?   
     • In interrogative sentences, the frequency adverb will be placed between the subject and the main verb.

3. Frequency adverbs with the verb to be

   •    When we want to use a frequency adverb with the verb to be, the sentence has a different structure than what we have detailed previously.   
   • AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES:
     •    Pattern:   Subject + to be + frequency adverb + complement   
     • In the case of affirmative sentences, the frequency adverb is placed after the verb and the presence of the complement becomes essential.
   • NEGATIVE SENTENCES:
     •    Pattern:   Subject + to be + not + frequency adverb + complement   
     • When the sentence is negative, we simply add the frequency adverb after the verb to be in negative form ('m not, isn't and aren't) followed by the complement.
   • INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES:
     •    Pattern: To be + subject + frequency adverb + complement?   
     • In the case of questions, the frequency adverb will be placed between the subject and the complement.
