Adverbs of frequency.

We use adverbs of frequency to express how often we do something.
We use them with present simple. See present simple post to revise.
Adverbs of frequency go before the verb, except verb to be. Example: She always comes to school on Mondays. Exercise 1 and exercise 2 on position.

Examples:

I always go to school by bus.

I usually
get up at 7.

I often
watch TV in the evening.

I sometimes
have lunch in a restaurant.

I never arrive late.

Other frequency expressions:

una vez por mes
twice a month

three times a month

Examples:
