Adverbs of Frequency

Adverbs of frequency tell how frequently an action happened,
happens, or will happen. Some commonly used adverbs of
frequency are always,often,sometimes,seldom, and never.


These five groups of adverbs are the most commonly used
adverbs that modify verbs.


5.3 Adverbs Used to Form Questions


The question words that help you to identify the time, location,
or manner of an action are called interrogative adverbs.


“When,” “where,” and “how” are used
to form questions. They help you to identify
the time, location, ormanner of an action.

5.4 Placement of Adverbs


The placement of adverbs can vary greatly. Adverbs are usually
placed directly after the verb. However, as the example I almost
forgot my flippers shows, adverbs can also be placed before a
verb. In the sentence She walked around the pool carefully,
the adverb is placed after an object noun.
