ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

• WHAT IS A ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY?

Adverbs of Frequency are Adverbs of Time that answer the question "How frequently?" or "How often?". They tell us how often something happens.

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence 

*An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

*An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

*When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb. This is also true for to be.

*We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence:

Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally

Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food.

BUT we cannot use the following at the beginning of a sentence:

Always, seldom, rarely, hardly, ever, never.

*We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs:

She hardly ever comes to my parties.

They never say 'thank you'.

*We use ever in questions and negative statements:

Have you ever been to New Zealand?

I haven't ever been to Switzerland. (The same as 'I have never been Switzerland').

*We can also use the following expressions when we want to be more specific about the frequency:

every day - once a month - twice a year - four times a day - every other week

PRONOUNS AND POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES

• WHAT IS A PRONOUN?

A pronoun is a word that substitutes for a noun or noun phrase. It is a particular case of a pro-form. Pronouns have traditionally been regarded as one of the parts of speech.

Pronouns can do all of the things that nouns do. They can be subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, object of the prepositions and more.

Here is the difference between a noun and a pronoun.......

Lest whatch a Video for example:

• TYPES OF PRONOUNS

There are many different types of pronouns. below you will find a short descriptions and a few examples of each.

*Subject Pronouns

A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated primarily with a particular person, in the grammatical sense.

When discussing “person” in terms of the grammatical, the following rules apply:

First person, as in “I”

Second person, as in “you”

Third person, as in “It, he, she”

*Object Pronouns

Object pronouns are used instead of nouns, usually because we already know what the object is. It makes the sentence easier to read and understand and avoids repetition. We normally use object pronouns after a verb or a preposition.

For example:

Horses don't like me.

She talks to us.

*Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns are those designating possession. They may also be used as substitutes for noun phrases, and they are typically found at the end of a sentence or clause.

For exmaple:

I like your flowers. Do you like mine?
John found his passport but Mary couldn't find hers. 

• WHAT IS A POSSESSIVE ADJCETIVES? 

The possessive adjectives show us who owns or "possesses" something.They are adjectives which modify a noun (or nouns).

For example:

If I have one book, it is my book.
But if I have two books, they are my books.

The possessive adjectives match only the items being possessed (owned.) They do not reflect how many owners there are or the gender of the owner/s.
