    Adverbs of frequency

    Grammar reference

     Adverbs of frequency show how often we do things.


    (mostram a frequência que fazemos algo)

     Adverbs of frequency usually go before the main verb of the sentence.


    (geralmente vão antes do verbo principal da sentença)
    A new baby normally sleeps badly.
    Teenagers don’t usually sleep enough.
    Do you often remember your dreams?

     The adverb of frequency usually goes after the verb be.


    (geralmente vão depois do verbo “be”)
    Sleep is sometimes possible with your eyes open.
    The class is usually in room 7.

     In negative sentences, adverbs of frequency usually go after “not”. However, “sometimes” goes before
    be, auxiliaries, and modals in negative sentences.
    We don’t always dream.
    We sometimes don’t dream.

    TIP: Never and hardly ever are negative in meaning, so we don’t use negative verbs in sentences
    containing them: (I never read in bed.  NOT … never don’t read…)

     “How often …?” questions usually need an answer with an adverb of frequency.
    A: How often do you get up late?
    B: I rarely get up late.

     Usually, normally, often and sometimes can also go at the beginning or at the end of a sentence, especially
    when the adverb provides the most important information in the sentence.
    Usually I get up late but yesterday was different.
