Adverbs of Frequency

Adverbs of Indefinite Frequency in English

We look at the following adverbs of frequency: Always, usually, normally, generally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally, seldom, hardly ever, rarely, and never.
We also look at the approximate percentages associated with each of these adverbs, for example... Always = 100%, Never = 0%, Sometimes = 50%. Example sentences are included.

Next we look at correct word order (or sentence structure) when using adverbs. We compare when adverbs are used with main verbs, auxiliary verbs and also how the order is different when adverbs are used with To Be.

We show the adverbs that can be used at the beginning of a sentence, and those that cannot be at the beginning.
