Adverbs of Frequency

What are Adverbs of Frequency?

Adverbs of Frequency, also known as Frequency adverbs, are partly a subset of adverbs of time but are officially separate. They are used to show or tell how often something happens or is done.

Examples of frequency adverbs:

rarely, occasionally, once, twice, often, every day/daily, monthly, yearly, hourly, etc.

Examples:

"I eat an apple daily."

"We go to Grandpa’s house yearly."

The underlined words are frequency adverbs modifying the verbs "eat" and "go". They tell how often these actions happen.
