Never – hardly ever – rarely (seldom) – sometimes – usually (often)- always. Note 1: Remember that with never and hardly ever we use POSITIVE sentences. Example: - We don’t never smoke. (INCORRECT) - We never smoke.
Note 2: With don’t and doesn’t we use the adverb of frequency after these and before the verb. Example: - We don’t usually travel. Note 3: Sometimes THE ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY can go at the beginning of the sentence.
The adverbs of frequency answer the typical question starting with “How often”. Examples: 1) How often do you brush your teeth? I always brush my teeth
2) How often does your mother cook? She seldom/rarely cooks.
3) How often is Claudio late for class. He is never late for class
