How to Teach Adverbs of Frequency?
1. Use Percentages to Define Adverbs-It can be somewhat challenging to define all the adverbs of frequency at one time.
-One skillful way to introduce all the new vocabulary is to make a list of all the adverbs the class knows and then add in the ones they don’t. (Brainstorm vocabulary of adverbs of frequency)
-As you create the list with student input, write it out on the board in descending order from frequent to infrequent.
-In discussing the degrees, you can assign the adverbs a percentage of frequency to give more concrete definition to the words. Here is an example:
Level: Intermediate
Always, regularly90 to 100% of the time (every day or several days a week)Usually
Often 70 to 80 % of the time (one or two days a week)Frequently
Sometimes 50% of the time (twice a month)Occasionally
Rarely 20-40% of the time (three times a year)Hardly ever
Never0 to 10% of the time (once a year, if at all)-With this introduction, you can then determine the difference
between words like often and frequently, or sometimes and occasionally.
-This is a good time to introduce how frequently you do something.E.g. Teacher: I rarely visit my mom. I usually walk my dog.
2. Show Placement and Structure:-In presenting the placement of adverbs, you’ll want to show the students and then have them deduct from your examples, where the adverbs go.
-There are three options, but the first two are the main ways to express frequency.
-Then you can have your students make a “chain drill” asking and answering questions about how often they do certain activities.
Q: How often do you go to the movies?A: I occasionally go to the movies. In between the subject
and the verbSometimes I go to the movies. At the very beginning
I go to the movies rarely. At the very end (never doesn’t fit here)
3. Truth or Lie Game:-The truth and lie game is a fun and fairly simple way to practice adverbs of frequency.
-Tell students to think of three facts about their habits, with one fact being untrue.
-You can also inform students that the point of the game is to be a good liar.
-They want to fool the rest of the group.
-Once they have devised their 3 facts, they can be written on the board or stated aloud.
-The rest of the students ask 10 yes or no questions to try to determine which fact is untrue.
An example could be:
-I occasionally go shopping at Sears.
-I often go fishing on the weekends.
-Sometimes I like to go dancing.
NOTE: You can’t ask yes or no questions that will directly give you the answer. For example:
Do you go shopping at Sears? UnacceptableAt the end of the class, students learn the different vocabulary for adverbs of frequency. They learn how to use the adverbs in complete sentences, and they practice yes or no questions.

Practice Professional competence
- much depends on research base
- structured- easy to follow- has face validity
- may give credibility status to the profession
- recognizes changes- ( it’s not static)
- based on empirical evidence - a gap between
theory and practice
- may be atomistic
- assumes complex human issues can be solved by scientific solutions
- top-down (authoritarian)
