Gli avverbi di frequenza si usano spesso con il Present Simple. Essiindicano con quale frequenza, quante volte (al giorno, al mese, ecc.) sicompiono certe azioni.

I always go to bed at eleven. Vado sempre aletto alle undici.I never have breakfast in the morning. Non faccio mai colazione la mattina.

Tra questi estremi - always = S€rfrpr€ e never = rn?i - c'd una serieintermedia di awerbi.

A differenza del!'italiano, in inglese gli awerbi di frequenza hannouna posizione fissa nella frase. Essi si collocano sempre prima del verboprincipale.I often have tea at breakfast. I+a{re-€{+€+teeSpesso prendo il tb./Prendo spesso ilti a colqzione.

Ma vanno dopo il verbo to be e gli ausiliari.She is always late for school. Slne++ralr+isE sempre in ritardo a scuola.You must never be late again. Yer+never mustNon devi fare mai piil ritardo.Ricorda che 'mai' nelle domande d ever, nelle affermative never.

Non vedo quasi mai il telegiornale.

Per precisare con quale frequenza awengono certeazioni si usano espressioni come
