Lesson #104: Adverbs of frequency for simple routines

Today’s grammar point is adverbs of frequency. These words tell us how often something happens.

Quick review from previous lessons:
- We already learned words for time, feelings, and place.
- Now we add words for frequency: how often an action happens.

New words:
1. always — AWL-wayz — all the time
2. usually — YOO-zhoo-uh-lee — most of the time
3. often — AW-fen — many times
4. sometimes — SUM-taimz — not every time
5. never — NEV-er — not at any time

Word notes:
- always = every time
- usually = regular habit
- often = many times
- sometimes = from time to time
- never = not at any time

Example sentences:
1. I always brush my teeth before bed.
Reading: ai AWL-wayz brush mai teeth bih-FOR bed
Meaning: I brush my teeth every time before sleeping.
Usage: always comes before the main verb.

2. We usually have tea after dinner.
Reading: wee YOO-zhoo-uh-lee hav tee AF-ter DIN-er
Meaning: Most of the time, we drink tea after the evening meal.
Usage: usually comes before the main verb.

3. I often read in the evening.
Reading: ai AW-fen reed in thee EEV-ning
Meaning: I read many times in the late part of the day.
Usage: often is common in the middle of a sentence.

4. She sometimes listens to music.
Reading: shee SUM-taimz LIH-senz too MYOO-zik
Meaning: From time to time, she listens to music.
Usage: sometimes can also come at the beginning.

5. They never drink coffee.
Reading: they NEV-er drink KAW-fee
Meaning: They do not drink coffee at any time.
Usage: never is a strong negative word.

Simple rule:
- In English, these adverbs usually go before the main verb.
- Example: I always eat. / We usually study. / They never play.

Mini practice:
1. I ___ eat breakfast every day. (always / never)
2. We ___ play games after class. (often / never)
3. She ___ reads in the park. (sometimes / always)
4. They ___ drink coffee. (never / usually)
5. I ___ walk to school. (usually / never)

Answer key:
1. always
2. often
3. sometimes
4. never
5. usually

Reply instruction:
- Try writing 3 new sentences with always, usually, often, sometimes, or never.
- Keep them simple and use your own routine.
