 A. Adverb of Intensity
Adverbs of intensity or adverbs of degree tell
us about the intensity or degree of
something. If you hear the words “good” and
“very good,” you will know that the two
words are not equal. You would want to hear
or see the word “very good” marked on your
paper than just Adverbs
“good.” of intensity are
usually placed before the adjective, adverb,
or verb that they modify, although there are
some exceptions. The words "too",
"enough", "very", and "extremely" are
examples of adverbs of degree.

1. You are working too slowly. (much slower than slow)
2. The water was extremely cold. (the cold is unbearable)

 Adverbs of Frequency

Adverbs of frequency describes how often an

action happens or takes place. There are six main
adverbs of frequency that we use in English:
always, usually (or normally), often, sometimes,
rarely, and never. They are often written before a
verb because they describe the frequency of the
action or event expressed in the verb.
Examples:
1. Batman always wears his mask on every
mission.
2. Peter Parker usually picks her up at the
bus terminal.
3. Ben and Emma often go out for lunch
together.

come to school wearing her boots.

 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.
 They often go out for dinner.
 I never go to the cinema. I don't like it.
 I don't mind going to the theater. I sometimes go with my
friends.
 Never say never.
 She likes dancing. She always goes to the night club to
dance.
 They usually quarrel. I rarely see them in good terms
with each other.
Other adverbs of frequency include:
 Occasionally
 Frequently
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 often see him pass by the house.

They are seldom at work.

Task 1. Work in pairs. Share the things you do
using adverbs of frequency. Pupil 1 will give his

mother always gets angry.
Pupil 1: I always bring my cell phone.
Pupil 2: I rarely bring mine.

people.
