Your progress: Beginners - Unit 1 [Progress] 0% [Continue studying]( Let’s look at some adverbs of definite frequency, which are common in English. You may know words like “always”, “sometimes” and “usually”. These are called adverbs of indefinite frequency. However, words like “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly” and “yearly” are called adverbs of definite frequency. Do you know when to use them? Let’s look at some common adverbs of definite frequency. every hour - hourly every day - daily every week - weekly every month - monthly every year - yearly Adverbs of definite frequency, like all adverbs of definite time, tend to go at the end of a sentence. Look at these examples: • Most companies pay taxes yearly. • The cleaner checks the toilets hourly. • The directors meet weekly. • The employees get paid monthly. • I hand in reports daily. Remember that every day, for example, is also an adverb, and just like the rest can be used instead of daily or every week instead of weekly. Sometimes, usually for reasons of emphasis or style, some adverbs of definite frequency may go at the front of the sentence, for example: • Every day she comes to work late! • Every week I wake up sad! I hope you enjoyed this lesson and learnt how to use adverbs of definite frequency!
