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

Each time. I look forward to reading it and
