| IV. To explain adverbs of frequency Now, open your books at page 121 Ex 1 . Listen to me attentively, than you’ll repeat
Find here adverbs of frequency…. Sometimes and never…..
1. Adverbs of frequency used before the main verb in the sentence.
I usually get up at 7 o’clock I don’t often go to the cinema She never eats bananas We always watch TV in the evenings I sometimes go swimming
2. These adverbs always used after verbs “to be” and “to do”.
I am never late. They are always polite
3. We can use Sometimes and usually in the beginning or in the ending of the sentence.
Sometimes I play tennis. I play tennis sometimes Usually he goes to school by bus. He goes to school by bus usually.
If you understood this, do this task: Ex.5 p122 I have just come from school He rarely eats chocolates Oops! I nearly fell over! I can always understand him The teacher never comes late I really missed my mother
