Adverbs
Adverb is a word that is used to add more information to a verb, adjective, group of words, etc. For example:
- Mother decorates the cake nicely.
- Fortunately, I reached the station on time.
Adverbs are classified into types based on the information they add about something: their manner, place, time and so on.
Adverbs of frequency are the types of adverbs that add information about how frequent an action is.
To identify them, you need to find a word in the sentence that explains the frequency of the event. These adverbs answer to the question "how often?" Let's take an example:
- I rarely drink water with a tablet.
The verb here is drinking. Now, if you frame the question: "How often... do I drink water with a tablet?" what you will automatically say with regard to the sentence will be "rarely". Therefore, "rarely" is the adverb of frequency.
Similarly:
- She usually takes snacks with tea.
Framing the question, "How often... does she take snacks with tea?" "Usually" is the answer, so it is the adverb of frequency.
