Adverbs of Frequency

Position:
Adverbs of frequency go before the verb but after the verb be and auxiliaries.

In negative sentences, the adverb of frequency goes after don’t/doesn’t:


• We don’t often go to bed late.
• He doesn’t always agree with me.

In questions, adverbs of frequency go after the subject.


• Is he always late?
• Do they often go to the library?

Never/hardly ever
The adverbs never and hardly ever (=almost never) have a negative meaning, but they
are used with a positive verb:
• He is never late.
• He isn’t never late.
• They hardly ever go to the library.
• They don’t hardly ever go to the library.

week, three times a month, every day, etc. These expressions are longer (2 words or
