Adverbs of Frequency
Adverbs of frequency describe how often or how little something happens.
Common adverbs of frequency are: sometimes, often, always, never, all the time, frequently, regularly, and rarely.
Adverbs of frequency can occur at the beginning, middle (between subject and verb), or end of a sentence. Adverbs that are longer phrases (e.g. "from time to time") can only be at the beginning or end of sentences.
