Adverbs of Frequency
Adverbs of Frequency are Adverbs of Time that answer the question "How frequently?" or "How often?". They tell us how often something happens. Here are some examples:
- daily, weekly, yearly
- often, sometimes, rarely
You probably see a difference between
a) and
b) above.
With words like daily we know exactly how often.
The words in a) describe definite frequency. On the other hand, words like often give us an idea about frequency but they don't tell us exactly.
The words in b) describe indefinite frequency.
We separate them into two groups because they normally go in different positions in the sentence.
