Structure: adverbs of frequency

How to use adverbs of ‘frequency’

Adverbs of frequency tell you approximately how often something happens.

Tip: It’s important to place adverbs in the correct position in a sentence.

Adverbs of frequency can be placed in more than one position in a sentence but we’ll focus on the most natural position for these adverbs in two situations; with normal verbs and with the verb ‘be’.

  • subject + adverb + normal verb + …
    • I usually arrive one hour before my flights.
  • subject + ‘be‘ + adverb + …
    • The flight is seldom late.

Check out the diagram below for more and then try to write some examples of your own.

Structure: ‘Word order in sentences 3’

Fly High English - Structure

This time in our structure help we continue to talk about word order in sentences. This time we discuss sentences where you want to include the person affected by an action. To do this we add an indirect object. We put this indirect object directly after the verb. So for example; ‘They gave us our meals’. ‘Us’ is our indirect object. Check out the diagram below for more information and try to write some examples of your own.
