2. ADVERBS FREQUENCY AND SECUENCE
What are adverbs of frequency?
We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do something. Adverbs of frequency are
often used with the present simple because they indicate repeated or routine activities.
Position of adverbs of frequency
Generally speaking adverbs of frequency come before the main verb except the main
verb "to be":
I sometimes visit my uncle.
We have often seen him pass by the house.
They are seldom at work.
Occasionally, sometimes, often, frequently and usually can also go at the beginning or
end of a sentence:
Sometimes they visit him.
I miss him occasionally.
Rarely and seldom can also go at the end of a sentence (often with "very"):
We see them rarely.
John eats meat very seldom.
Adverbs of sequence
Adverbs of sequence also describe time. We use adverbs of sequence to describe
the order in which things happen. We often use adverbs of sequence to tell a
story, write a recipe, or give directions.
Adverbs of sequence almost always come at the beginning of a sentence and are
followed by a comma (,):
Before breakfast, you should clean your room.
After lunch, I go to the shop.
First, do your homework.
Second, wash the dishes.
Third, walk the dog.
Next, read to your sister.
Finally, you can relax.
First and next can also go at the end of a sentence.
Do your homework first.
Read to your sister next.
Then can be used as an adverb of sequence as well as an adverb of time. Then is
not followed by a comma.
Then you mix everything together.
We will graduate then.
