 ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

These help to express the frequency

with which an action is performed
but not in an accurate and exact
manner.
ADVERBS OF INDEFINITE FREQUENCY

We use some
adverbs to describe
how frequently we
do an activity.
THE POSITION OF THE ADVERB IN A SENTENCE

 An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

Subject + ADVERB + main verb

 An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

QUESTIONS
Frequency Adverbs are adverbs of time and answer questions like
"How often?" (Que tan seguido?)
"How frequently?" (Con que frecuencia)
These adverbs help determine how often something happens

How often do you go to the cinema? Do you visit your sister often?
¿Con que frecuencia vas al cine? ¿Visitas tu hermana a menudo?
ACTIVITY
 (LIKE , LOVE)+ ING
The verbs that express taste, preference are followed by the verb in the form +ING
when talking about an action that we like or do not like usually

“Love” Es utilizado para indicar que algo encanta.

 We love cooking -> Nos encanta cocinar.

“Like” se utiliza para indicar que algo nos gusta.

She likes swimming. Le gusta nadar.
She likes dancing. Le gusta bailar (habitualmente)
 (LIKE , LOVE) + TO
Verbs that indicate taste, preference as "like", "Love", are followed by a verb in
infinitive with "to" when one speaks about an action at that time determined.
