5. Frequency Adverbials:
When we describe a person’s routine we use frequency adverbials. They answer the question,
“How often ?”. We can answer this question with a definite frequency adverbial or an indefinite
frequency adverbial.
Indefinite frequency adverbials:
Positive: occasionally sometimes often usually always
Frequently generally
