Adverbs of frequency

  1. Frequency adverbs are words like always, sometimes and never. We use them to say how often something happens. Although there are more frequency adverbs in English, in this article we focus on these three.

    • FREQUENCY ADVERB AFTER THE SUBJECT AND BEFORE THE VERB: In all sentences the frequency adverb is placed after the subject and before the verb, except when the main verb is a modal verb or the verb to be.
    • FREQUENCY ADVERB AFTER THE VERB TO BE OR A MODAL VERB: In sentences where the main verb is to be or a modal verb, the frequency adverb is placed after it.
    • ADVERBIO DE FRECUENCIA AL PRINCIPIO DE UNA ORACIÓN: Los adverbios de frecuencia sometimes, usually y ocasionally, además de seguir las reglas anteriores, pueden ir al principio de la oración.
    • PERCENTAGES
      • By request through the comments, I leave you the approximate percentages of each of these frequency adverbs
        • Always (Siempre): 100 %. Usually (Usualmente): 85 %. Frequently (Frecuentemente): 75 %. Often (A menudo): 60 %. Sometimes (Algunas veces): 50 %. Occasionally (Ocasionalmente): 40 %. Rarely (Raramente): 30 %. Seldom (Muy rara vez): 20 %. Hardly ever (Casi nunca): 10 %. Never (Nunca). 0 %.
          • Always – Siempre, es decir el 100% de las veces. – You are always on my mind (Te tengo siempre en mente) / Alaska is always cold (Siempre hace frío en Alaska) Usually, normally, generally – Normalmente. Es difícil hablar de porcentaje, pero si indicáramos uno, este sería elevado. Tipo 80% de las veces – Barcelona is usually a sunny city (Normalmente Barcelona es una ciudad soleada/ hace sol en Barcelona). Often, frequently – A menudo. Más de la mitad de las ocasiones. – On Saturdays I often go to the mountain (Los sábados voy a menudo a la montaña). Sometimes, occasionally – A veces.
