I'm going to teach you how to confidently tell someone about the way you spend your time in British English
Now your task after watching
This lesson is to leave me three sentences in the comments using a different adverb of frequency each time
So, how do you spend your time?
Let's get started
adverbs of frequency
These are the words that we can use to say how often we do something
So to explain that you do something all the time. You could use the word always I
Always brush my teeth in the morning
If you do something most of the time but not quite always you could use the word
usually so I
Usually eat cereal for breakfast maybe on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday
I do but at the weekend, I have something different
So I usually eat cereal for breakfast or you could use the word often often
It's fine to pronounce this as often or to drop the T and say often both versions are acceptable. I
Might say I often wear black shoes to work
But if I'm feeling fruity, I might wear red shoes one day
Or we can use the word
frequently
frequently I
frequently clean the kitchen
Because nobody else does it
The things that happen some of the time you could use words like
regularly, I
Regularly call my mother
Now this implies that the action happens with a definite pattern
Like every Friday evening, for example, I regularly call my mother every Friday we could use the word
sometimes I sometimes catch the bus to work maybe once a week or
We can use the word
occasionally I
occasionally go to the gym for
I definitely need to go more
Okay to explain that you do something not very often at all. You could say
rarely, I
Rarely phone in sick to work because I am a hard
and I'll always go in even if I have a cold or a fever or
Broken leg. I rarely phone in sick to work
You could use the words
hardly ever I
Hardly ever eat dinner after 9 p.m. And that's true actually for
me it's usually around 8 o'clock and
Finally to explain that you do not do something at all
You could use the word
Never I never eat peanuts because I have an allergy as you can tell the adverb of frequency
Usually comes before the main verb in the sentence
however
exception if the main verb in the sentence is
To be then the adverb of frequency
comes
After it for example, he is
often late for work
the train is
Usually faster than the bus you are
always learning new English skills
So now you know how to tell somebody how often you do something you can use this for anything like work
hobbies and leisure activities
So your task for today is to leave me those three sentences in the comments using a different adverb of frequency
Each time. I look forward to reading it and
