Adverbs of frequency word order
|
|
Hello dear teachers,
I am a little confused with the word order in a negative sentence that has an adverb of frequency.
Does this sound correct:
I don �t often play the piano.
Also is it correct to say �frequency adverbs � instead of �adverbs of frequency �?
Thank you,
Zulia |

Hi Zulia,
Your negative sentence is correct, because in negative sentences and questions, the adverbs of frequency come before the main verb for example :
I don �t often see my brother.
Do you always walk to work ?
Of course the both names are correct :
- adverbs of frequency
- frequency adverbs
