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.

Frequency	Adverb	Example
100%	always	I always go to bed at 11pm.
90%	usually	I usually walk to school.
×70%	often	I often surf the internet.
×50%	sometimes	I sometimes go to the cinema.
0%	never	I never swim in the sea.

Adverbs of frequency are put directly before the main verb. If 'be' is the main verb and there is no auxiliary verb, adverbs of frequency are put behind 'be'.
