We use frequency adverbs to describe how often something happens. We use them with the Present Simple tense.

We place the frequency adverbs BEFORE the main verb (in Present Simple). Example: • I always walk to work. • He doesn’t usually wear jeans. • Do you often write letters? BUT, we put them AFTER the verb TO BE. • He is never late. • The children aren’t usually tired after school. • Are you often sad? OTHER EXPRESSIONS OF FREQUENCY How often…?  I used to ask about the frequency of an action. We place it at the beginning of the question. do

I / you /they / we

does

/ he / she/ it

How often

Example: • How often do you go to the cinema? • How often does Mary cook? FREQUENCY EXPRESSIONS: Once Twice Three times Four times

REMEMBER! Use once or twice NOT one time/ two times

Example: - We go to the theater once a week. - Peter plays football five times a month.

Evening / morning / night … Day / weekend… Saturday / Monday … Week / month / year

every

Example: - Mary cooks every day. - I play tennis every Sunday

TAKE INTO ACCOUNT: “The rest of the frequency expressions are placed at the end of the sentence”. PRACTICE: 1. Put the words in the correct order to make sentences, as in the example. Example: 0. play /often / on / Sundays / they / football -They often play football on Sundays. a. late / is / she / sometimes b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j.

. early / sister / never / Sundays. / on / gets up / my . usually / He / goes / on Fridays. / to the / cinema . go / you / to a restaurant / often / do / How / ? .

He / to work. / rides / his bike / often . home / They / get / at six o’clock. / usually .

CAN AND CAN’T The three main uses of CAN are: 1) ability 2) possibility and 3) permission. However, there are some other used of Can as we will see below. 1. To express ability Can means to be (physically) able to do something OR to know how to do something. EXAMPLE:  Birds can fly.  Elephants can't fly.  I can speak two languages. 2. To express a possibility (in general) This refers to a theoretical possibility. Note: we don't use can to talk about future possibilities. For this you would use may or might. EXAMPLE:  It can get cold there at night so take a jacket.  I know you can win the competition.  Well, I think your car can be repaired, but it's not going to be cheap. 3. To offer to do something for others Can is used when you offer to help someone or to do something for them. EXAMPLE:  You don't need to walk home. I can take you there if you like.  Can I carry your bags for you? 4. To ask for or give permission / To request something Can is used to ask for / request permission or to give permission. Note: Can't is used to refuse permission.

You can use my umbrella; I don't need it right now. Can I sit in that chair please? Mary, you can play outside if you like. Can I ask you a question? You can't go to the park. It will still be wet from the rain last night. We can't leave the room until the assignment is completed.

5. Can't: Something that is forbidden or not allowed EXAMPLE:  We cannot park the car next to this fire hydrant.  You can drive as fast as you want on the German motorways.  You can't smoke in the restaurant.  You cannot drive a car without a license. 6. Can't: when you are sure that something isn't true or something is surprising EXAMPLE:  It can't be dark outside! It's only 4.30pm!  They can't have landed on the moon, I'm sure it's a hoax.
