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

daily, weekly, yearly

often, sometimes, rarely

E - Adverbs of definite frequency

Examples:

· hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly

· every second, once a minute, twice a year

· once, twice, once or twice, three times

Adverbs of definite frequency, like all adverbs of definite time, typically go in END position. Look at these examples:

· Most companies pay taxes yearly.

· The manager checks the toilets every hour.

· The directors meet weekly to review progress.

Sometimes, usually for reasons of emphasis or style, some adverbs of definite frequency may go at the FRONT, for example:

· Every day, more than five thousand people die on our roads.

Examples:

· never, seldom, sometimes, often, always

Adverbs of indefinite frequency mainly go in MID position in the sentence. They go before the main verb (except the main verb "to be"):

· We usually go shopping on Saturday.

· I have often done that.

· She is always late.

Occasionally, sometimes, often, frequently and usually can also go at the beginning or end of a sentence:

· Sometimes they come and stay with us.

· I play tennis occasionally.

Rarely and seldom can also go at the end of a sentence (often with "very"):

· We see them rarely.

· John eats meat very seldom.
