🔂 Adverbs of Frequency

📘 Où placer l'adverbe de fréquence ?

Au présent simple, on utilise souvent des adverbes de fréquence : ils servent à modifier le sens du verbe (always, usually, often, sometimes, normally, generally, hardly ever, never...).

Phrase affirmative : toujours devant le verbe principal, mais après l'auxiliaire "to be" :

  • He always stays in a hotel when he goes on holiday.
  • We often go to the restaurant on Friday evenings.
  • They are usually tired at the weekend.

Question ou phrase négative : l'adverbe reste devant le verbe principal (mais après l'auxiliaire) :

  • Do you usually go to the restaurant on Friday?
  • She doesn't often eat French fries.
  • Are you sometimes late for school?
