http://youtu.be/mRh6oDnRWKs

Task 2: After watching the video, choose ten questions to answer using the right adverb for you.


Example: How often do you cook? I always cook at home.

Adverbs of frequency

always, usually, regularly, normally, often, sometimes, occasionally, rarely, seldom, never are adverbs of frequency.
The position of these adverbs is before the main verb

always

The adverbs often, usually, sometimes and occasionally can go at the beginning of a sentence:

Often we surf the internet.

Sometimes these adverbs are put at the end of the sentence.

We read books occasionally.
