What do you think each of these adverbs means? Let's discuss as a class.

Practice Activity

Next, we're going to practice using frequency adverbs. In pairs, decide on a daily routine, such as brushing your teeth or reading a book. Then, take turns asking and answering questions about how often you do that activity using different frequency adverbs. For example, "How often do you brush your teeth?" "I always brush them twice a day."
