What is an Adverb of Frequency
Adverb of frequency is a word that defines how regularly something occurs or happens,
either in definite or indefinite terms. Adverbs can also be used to describe adjectives and
other adverbs.
There are two types: adverbs of definite frequency and adverbs of indefinite frequency. The point
of an adverb in a sentence tells whether it is an adverb of definite or indefinite frequency.
Adverbs of Definite Frequency: An adverb that labels definite frequency is one such as
weekly, hourly, monthly, daily, or yearly. Adverbs of definite frequency occur at the
beginning or the end of a sentence. Other ones are once a month, every month, and every
other month. Any exact number of times that happen in a given time period are also adverbs
of definite frequency: twice a week, three times a month, twice a year, once every five years,
four times a year and so on.
Examples:
Some staffs go out for lunch every day.
The sales director gets new e-mail hourly.
Every day, some organisations go out for lunch.
Payroll must be done every three weeks.
We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity. These are called adverbs
of frequency and include:
