Frequency Phrases
 
Hi,
 
I am looking for worksheets that deal with phrases such as "once a month", "twice a week", "everyday", etc.  However, everytime I search I find WS with "sometimes", "always", "never"....

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
Esther

can �t you just substitute sometimes,always for the adverbs of your choice?

Also, Esther, you need to correct an error, which has become very common. "Everyday" is an adjective, meaning "ordinary" or "not special". The adverb is "every day".

Hi there,
 
"Sometimes" and "always" doesn �t work with questions like "How often to you go to the movies".
 
Thanks Bruce.  How often do I make that mistake?  ALWAYS!

How often do you go to the movies? - Once a month.
Are you saying there �s no way you could adapt some frequency adverbs ws to make use of it?
