PRESENT SIMPLE- PRESENT CONTINUOUS

PRESENT SIMPLE:(daily routines)

FREQUENCY ADVERBS

We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do things. Adverbs of frequency go before all verbs EXCEPT the verb to be.

The adverbs of frequency answer the typical question starting with “How often”.

Examples:
1) How often do you brush your teeth?
I always brush my teeth

2) How often does your mother cook?
She sometimes cooks.

3) How often is Claudio late for class.
He is never late for class

** How often = Con qué frecuencia. Para decir la horas exacta uno también puede preguntar (What time?) Para responder la hora exacta utilizamos la preposición “at” antes de la hora.

Ejemplo:
What time do you wake up?
I wake up at 7:00 am.

ALWAYS--> 100%

USUALLY-->80%

OFTEN--> 60%

SOMETIMES-->40%

HARDLY EVER-->20%

NEVER-->0%
