Do you have any hobbies?

In today's lesson I'm going to teach you how to confidently tell someone about the way you spend your time in British English

Now your task after watching This lesson is to leave me three sentences in the comments using a different adverb of frequency each time.

So, how do you spend your time?

Let's get started.

adverbs of frequency

These are the words that we can use to say how often we do something.

So to explain that you do something all the time.

You could use the word “always ”.

I always brush my teeth in the morning.

If you do something most of the time but not quite always you could use the word.

“usually” so I Usually eat cereal for breakfast maybe on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Friday I do but at the weekend, I have something different.

So I usually eat cereal for breakfast .

Or you could use the word “often”.

It's fine to pronounce this as often or to drop the T and say often both versions are acceptable.

I might say I often wear black shoes to work.

But if I'm feeling fruity, I might wear red shoes one day.

Or we can use the word

“frequently”.

I frequently clean the kitchen because nobody else does it.

The things that happen some of the time you could use words like “regularly” .

I regularly call my mother.

Now this implies that the action happens with a definite pattern Like every Friday evening, for example, I regularly call my mother every Friday we could use the word “sometimes” .

I sometimes catch the bus to work maybe once a week

Or we can use the word “occasionally”.

I occasionally go to the gym for I definitely need to go more

Okay to explain that you do something not very often at all.

You could say “rarely”.

I rarely phone in sick to work because I am a hard worker.

and I'll always go in even if I have a cold or a fever or broken leg.

I rarely phone in sick to work.

You could use the words “hardly ever”.

I hardly ever eat dinner after 9 p.m. And that's true actually for me it's usually around 8 o'clock.

And finally to explain that you do not do something at all,

you could use the word “never”.

I never eat peanuts because I have an allergy .

As you can tell the adverb of frequency usually comes before the main verb in the sentence.

However,

exception if the main verb in the sentence is “to be" then the adverb of frequency comes after it.

for example, he is often late for work.

the train is usually faster than the bus.

you are always learning new English skills.

So now you know how to tell somebody how often you do something you can use this for anything like work hobbies and leisure activities.

So your task for today is to leave me those three sentences in the comments using a different adverb of frequency each time.

I look forward to reading it and after you've finished Jump into another lesson.

I'll see you there
