Frequency adverbs are fun and easy! You will like them. Some of the important ones are... always often usually seldom rarely never 1) Use them with the simple present and past tenses. The frequency adverb comes before the verb. I usually do my homework at night. As a child, she never listened to her parents. 2) Be careful of the verb BE (am, is, are, was, were). The frequency adverb comes after the verb: She is always late for work. They are usually very punctual. 3) Watch out! Don't put the frequency adverb at the beginning of the sentence. It sounds funny. No! Always they talk about comic books. Yes. They always talk about comic books. 4) Don't use "never" or "rarely" with negative verbs. Those adverbs are already negative, and we don't like "double negatives". : ) No! The professors don't never give us extra help. Yes! The professors never give us extra help. No! They aren't rarely prepared for their lectures. Yes! They are rarely prepared for their lectures. There are a few more things to know about frequency adverbs but these are the biggies. When you are ready for the quiz, let me know. : )

Very nice post BRSwartz. A friend of mine had asked me about this a few months back and I didn't provide nearly as good as an answer as yours.
