Adverbs of Frequency

The document discusses adverbs of frequency and their positioning in sentences. Adverbs of frequency are used to describe how often an action occurs. They can be placed before the main verb, after the subject, or after an auxiliary verb. If the adverb is a phrase like "once a week" rather than a single word, it is usually placed at the end of the sentence. Examples are provided rewriting sentences to include adverbs of frequency in the correct positions.
