Adverbs of frequency

Adverbs of frequency express how frequently or how ften we do an activity. 

The position of the frequency adverbs is before the main verb or after the verb "To Be". When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb: "She can som,etimes beat me at chess"

And remember that the question word you have to use when you want to know the fgrequency of an action is "How often?"

Some frequency adverbs can be moved from their normal position and be placed front position, mainly for emphasis: Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally. "Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food".  But the rest of the advers are rarely used in front postion. 

We can also use the following expressions when we want to be more specific about the frequency:

- every day - once a month - twice a year - four times a day - every other week. These are usually placed at the end of the sentence.

VERBAL TENSES

Let's start today a series of verbal tenses, which I hope will serve you to use them correctly and confidently in your speaking and writing. Let's start with the present simple tense.

The main thing to remember here is the third person singular, which adds an -s/-es in the affirmative, and does/doesn't in the interrogative and negative forms. A typical mistake is to keep the -s/-es in the interrogative or negative form. *Does he reads a lot? That is not correct. If the -s/-es is somewhat in the auxiliary verb, we do not repeat it in the main verb: Does he read a lot?
