Adverbs of Frequency

Adverbs of frequency express “how often” something takes place. In other words, it explains the intensity of occurrence that an event happens. Adverbs of frequency are usually in this form: Subject + Adverb + Verb

Adverb: How Often
Never :0%
Hardly Ever: 10%
Rarely: 20%
Seldom: 30%
Occasionally: 40%
Sometimes: 50%
Often: 60%
Frequently: 70%
Usually: 90%
Always: 100%

Examples
1.) I usually go to the gym on weekends.
2.) She always wake up at 7:00 am.
3.) The family rarely eat brown rice for dinner.
4.) I never take sick days.

In addition, adverbs like “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly” and “yearly” describe frequency. But these adverbs of frequency answer “how often” in a more specific way.
