THE FREQUENCY ADVERBS IN THE PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE

Los adverbios
de frecuencia (frequency adverbs) son expresiones que indican con qué regularidad se realiza una acción o
actividad: I always have breakfast at 8 o'clock (Yo siempre desayuno a las 8 en punto). La palabra resaltada en
color verde y negrilla es un ejemplo de uno de dichos adverbios, el cual indica la frecuencia con la que hago
esta acción, en este caso “desayunar- to have breakfast” particularmente a esa hora. Otras expresiones de
frecuencia son:

✔ Generally ✔ Twice ✔ Frequently

✔ Occasionally ✔ Three times ✔ Often
✔ Every(day, ✔ Always ✔ Rarely
week,month…) ✔ Usually ✔ Hardly ever
✔ Once (a day, a week, a ✔ Never ✔ Seldom
year) ✔ Sometimes

Estos adverbios ocupan una posición distinta dentro de los enunciados. Esto depende del tipo de verbo y
adverbio empleados. Tenga en cuenta las siguientes normas:

1. Los adverbios de frecuencia se ubican luego del verbo to be en oraciones afirmativas y negativas:

verbos diferentes al to be:

4. Los adverbios de frecuencia always, usually, often, sometimes, frequently, se ubican en oraciones

Let’s practice

Reading comprehension

Read about Emma’s routine and highlight the frequency adverbs.

Hi! My name is Emma. I’m ten years old and I’m English. I live with my family in Brighton in the south of
England. My day usually starts quite early. I always get up at 7.30 on weekdays, but on the weekends I sleep
an hour and a half longer. When I get up, I go to the bathroom first. I wash my face to wake me up, brush my
teeth and then I have a shower. After that I comb my hair and get dressed. I usually wear casual clothes,
mainly jeans, shorts, T-shirts and trainers. I always have breakfast with my mum and my little brother, Tommy.
My dad never has breakfast with us because he starts work early on weekdays. I usually have a bowl of
cornflakes with hot milk and toast with marmalade. Before I go to school, I have to walk our dog, Leo.

I usually walk to school because I don’t live very far. Classes start at 8.30. I like Maths best but I’m also good at
Science and English. I have two breaks, at 11 and at 1 o’clock. I eat a sandwich and drink orange juice. I also
play with my classmates in the playground. School finishes at 3.30 and my dad picks me up and we come back
home by car. Then we have lunch together.

After lunch I play with my brother for a while and then I do my homework and study. I have basketball practice
twice a week. I love doing sports. Before dinner I sometimes meet my friends or watch a TV quiz. I seldom play
computer game; I simply find them boring. We have dinner at 7.30 and I often set the table. After dinner I
read a book or surf the Internet for a while.

At 9.30 I go to the bathroom to have a shower, brush my teeth and put on my nightdress. Before I go to sleep,
I listen to music on my MP3 player because it makes me feel relaxed.

 LET’S PRACTICE!

E. Choose the correct option to complete the text.

RUNKEEPER

You want to do sport, but you don’t know which sport to choose. Gymnastics/surfing/ skiing is fun, but it’s
expensive and you can only do it in winter. Cycling is a good exercise, but you must buy a racket/ bicycle/ goal
and a helmet/ swimming cap/ skateboard. How about bowling/ running/ diving? It doesn’t cost any money
and you can do it any time and any place. You only need some good trainers, some comfortable clothes and
the RunKeeper smartphone app.

With this app, you can see your distance and your speed. Runkeeper is also good for walking and golf/
rollerblading/tennis. Do you prefer to exercise at a sports club? You don’t need an expensive personal trainer.
You can use RunKeeper while you are cycling/ surfing/weightlifting on an exercise bike or while you are
jumping and kicking in a karate/ volleyball/ basketball lesson. You can’t lose with this incredible app!
