Hi everybody! I'm The Present Simple Girl. I like habits and routines.
I always do the same things and at the same time. For example, I
always drink two glasses of milk in the morning and I usually arrive at
school at twenty-five past eight. I often wear jeans and T-shirts. I
love pop music. I also love animals and plants. I have a beautiful
garden.
I live with my parents and my brother. The Present Continuous Guy.
He is very different from me. He never arrives on time for lunch. He
likes new clothes and fashion, and he doesn't listen to pop music. He
plays hard rock in a group called "Metal Bananas". We are in an
English club called “The Happy Verb Gang”. We go to the club on
Saturdays.

These are called Adverbs of Frequency and we use:
"How Often” to ask about them. These adverbs include:
-It means how often we repeat the action, so we answer using the adverbs
of frequency.
Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence

80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym.

14 | P a g e
The Position of the Adverb in a sentence
1. An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb.
Subject + adverb + main verb
I always remember to do my homework.
He normally gets good marks in exams.
2.An adverb of frequency goes after the verb to be.
Subject + to be + adverb
They are never pleased to see me.
She isn't usually bad tempered.
3.When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could,
would, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the
main verb. This is also true for to be.
Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb
She can sometimes beat me in a race.
I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.
They might never see each other again.
They could occasionally be heard laughing.
15 | P a g e
We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence:
Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally
Occasionally, I like to eat Chinese food.
BUT we cannot use the following at the beginning of a sentence:
Always, seldom, rarely, hardly, ever, never.
4.We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs:
• She hardly ever comes to my parties.
• They never say, 'thank you'.
5.We can also use the following expressions when we want to be more
specific about the frequency:
every day - once a month - twice a year - four times a day - every other
week

present simple tense. They describe a state not an action.

Example: She seems to be very good at her job.
Stative verbs:
The stative verbs are used in the present simple tense form, so we
can't add to them verb to be or ing.
Like, love, hate, want, belong, forget, prefer, need, understand, believe,
know, realize, suppose, mean.
