Structure: adverbs of frequency

How to use adverbs of ‘frequency’

Adverbs of frequency tell you approximately how often something happens.

Tip: It’s important to place adverbs in the correct position in a sentence.

Adverbs of frequency can be placed in more than one position in a sentence but we’ll focus on the most natural position for these adverbs in two situations; with normal verbs and with the verb ‘be’.

subject + adverb + normal verb + …
- I usually arrive one hour before my flights.
subject + ‘be‘ + adverb + …
- The flight is seldom late.

Check out the diagram below for more and then try to write some examples of your own.

Structure: ‘Word order in sentences 3’

This time in our structure help we continue to talk about word order in sentences. This time we discuss sentences where you want to include the person affected by an action. To do this we add an indirect object. We put this indirect object directly after the verb. So for example; ‘They gave us our meals’. ‘Us’ is our indirect object. Check out the diagram below for more information and try to write some examples of your own.

Structure: ‘Word order in sentences 1’

This time in our structure help we talk about word order in sentences. We begin with two aspects of a sentence; verbs + objects. Most people are familiar with verbs, but objects can be more difficult to understand. An object is a person or thing which is affected by the action of a verb. So if you fly a plane, the ‘plane’ is affected by the action of the verb. If you drink some water, ‘water’ is affected by the action of the verb etc… Check out the diagram below for more information and look for our other posts related to word order.

Structure: ‘conjugating the past simple’

This time in our structure help we continue with conjugations. This time we look at conjugating the past simple. If you are familiar with the present simple, the conjugation for the past simple is very easy. It follows the same structure but with the past simple form instead of the present simple form. Have a look at the diagram below to see more and practice some sentences of your own.
