Los adverbios de frecuencia (frequency adverbs) son expresiones que indican cada cuánto se
realiza una acción: I always have breakfast at 8 o´clock (Yo siempre desayuno a las 8). La palabra
resaltada en color verde es un ejemplo de uno de dichos adverbios e indica que desayunar a las 8
es la frecuencia con la que hago esta acción, 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 ✔ Never ✔ Seldom
week, a year) ✔ Sometimes
