Adverbs of frequency

We use adverbs of frequency- like sometimes or usually- to say how often we do things, or how often things happen. 

Examples: 

I always do my homework.
I sometimes go to the park.
I never go swimming.

Remember!
The adverb goes next to the verb.
I usually go to school by bus.
She sometimes plays volleyball.

How often?
Use 'how often' to ask a question.
How often do you play computer games?
I sometimes play computer games.

Other expressions:

• once/twice a day / week / month / year

I read a book once a week.

• everyday

I have breakfast everyday.

• three (or more) times a day / week / month / year
