An adverb of frequency is a word that tells us how often something happens. It gives us information about the frequency or regularity of an action or event, whether it’s something that happens all the time, rarely, or somewhere in between.
We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do things or how often things happen. These come in two types – definite vs. indefinite. There are adverbs that describe definite frequency (we know exactly how often something happens) such as: weekly/every week, daily/every day, or yearly/every year.
