WHATIS AN ADVERBOF FREQUENCY?
✓Adverbsof frequency tell us how often something is done.
✓An adverb of frequency is exactly what it sounds like – an
adverboftime.
✓Adverbs of frequency always describe how often
something occurs,either in definite or indefinite terms.
✓An adverb that describes definite frequency is one such as
weekly, daily, or yearly. An adverb describing indefinite
frequency doesn’t specify an exact time frame; examples
are always,sometimes,often, andrarely.
 RULERS FOR ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY
THERE ARE 3 BASIC RULERS FOR THE POSITION OF ADVERBS OF MANNER

1.- Adverbs of frequency usually go before the main verb.

SUBJECT + ADVERB + MAIN VERB + COMPLEMENT

SHE SOMETIMES DRIVES TO WORK BY CAR.

YOU USUALLY HAVE BREAKFAST IN YOUR HOME

Adverbs of frequency come after the verb be: am, is, are
FRECUENCY ADVERBS: POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
NEGATIVE FORM ADVERB OF FREQUENCY WITH VERB BE: (am, is, are)

 POSSESSIVE NOUNS

Examples:
The car of John = John's car.
The room of the girls = The girls' room.
Clothes for men = Men's clothes.
The sister of Charles = Charles's sister.
The boat of the sailors = The sailors' boat.
But we use ’s with other pluralnouns:

✓ These are men’s shoes.

✓ Children’s clothes are very expensive.

We can use a possessive instead of a noun phrase to avoid

repeating words:

Isthat George’scar? No, it’s Mary’s [car]. No, it’s Mary’s.

Whosecoatisthis? It’s my wife’s[coat]. It’s mywife’s.
If two people own something together, use an 's after the second person
only.
Joe and Mary's car is new. (Both Joe and Mary own the car.)

If two people own two separate things, add 's to each name.

Laurie's and Megan's nails are painted the same color.

(Each girl has her own nails)
Youmay find that certain names ending in s add only an apostrophe. That rule is somewhat
old-fashioned. However, some names, such as Jesus, Moses, Achilles, and Charles
Dickens(historical names that end in a z sound), can end with either an apostrophe or 's.

Jesus' parables were instructional stories. OR

Jesus’s parables were instructionalstories.
Moses' first tablets werebroken. OR
Moses's first tablets were broken
 THE POSSESSIVE USED IN PLACES

churches and colleges, using the name or job title of the owner.
