Hello I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!
大家好，我是来自mmmEnglish的Emma !
There are many times in an English conversation when you need to say how often you do something.
在英语对话中，很多时候你需要说明你做某事的频率。
For example, if you were asked the question,
例如，如果有人问你，
“How often do you travel abroad?”
“你多久出国一次？”
“Do you often eat out at a restaurant?”
“你经常在外面的餐馆吃饭吗?”
“How often do you visit your mother?”
“你多久去看你母亲一次?”
Adverbs of frequency help you to explain how many times you do an activity or how often something happens.
频率副词可以帮助你解释你做某个活动的次数或某事发生的频率。
Adverbs give more information about the action in a sentence.
副词在句子中提供有关动作的更多信息。
So, are you ready for some examples of these adverbs?
那么，你准备好这些副词的一些例子了吗?
Always - when the action happens all the time.
Always——用在行动总是发生的时候。
Frequently, normally, usually, often, regularly - when the action happens many times.
Frequently, normally, usually, often, regularly——当动作发生多次时。
Generally - when the action happens more often than not.
Generally -当动作经常发生的时候。
Occasionally or sometimes - when the action happens less often, not that often.
Occasionally 或 sometimes -当动作发生的频率较低，不是那么频繁时使用。
Rarely, seldom, hardly ever, infrequently - that's when the action happens only a few times.
Rarely, seldom, hardly ever, infrequently——当行动只发生几次时使用。
Or never, when the action doesn't happen at all.
或者never，当行动根本没有发生时使用。
Now, usually these adverbs are used in the present tense and adverbs can go in a few different places in an English sentence
现在，这些副词通常用在现在时中，副词在英语句子中可以放在几个不同的地方
but most commonly they go in the middle of the sentence, between the subject and the verb.
但最常见的是在句子中间，在主语和动词之间。
“They often take their dog to the beach.”
他们经常带狗去海滩。
“We sometimes pick up dinner on the way home.”
我们有时在回家的路上买晚饭。
“I usually visit my grandparents on Thursdays.”
我通常在星期四去看望我的祖父母。
But you can also use them at the beginning of your sentence or at the end.
但是你也可以在句首或句尾使用它们。
“They take their dogs to the beach often.”
他们经常带狗去海滩。
“Sometimes we pick up dinner on the way home.”
有时我们在回家的路上买晚饭。
And “Usually, I visit my grandparents on Thursdays.”
以及“通常，我在星期四去看望我的祖父母。”
But we never put the adverb after the verb.
但是我们从来不把副词放在动词之后。
That just doesn't work!
那根本行不通！
“We pick up dinner sometimes on the way home.”
我们有时在回家的路上买晚饭。
Incorrect!
不正确！
In addition to these adverbs, there are a number of other English expressions that can help you to say how often something happens.
除了这些副词，还有一些其他的英语表达可以帮助你表达某事发生的频率。
You can use this expression “once or twice a..”
你可以使用这个表达“once or twice a..”
with another time expression like day or week or year.
用另一种时间表达，如日、周或年。
You can say “once in a while”
你可以说" once in a while "
and these expressions are similar to the adverb 'infrequently'.
这些表达与副词‘infrequently’相似。
Now you can also say “from time to time”
你也可以说" from time to time "
or “every now and again”
或者“every now and again”
and these ones are similar to saying occasionally or sometimes.
这些类似于“偶尔”或“有时”。
You can also say “most of the time”.
你也可以说“most of the time”。
This is similar to saying 'often'.
这类似于说‘often’。
Now all of these expressions are used at the start or the end of a sentence but not in the middle.
所有这些表达都用在句子的开头或结尾，而不是中间。
There are also a few ways that you can explain that something that you do happens at the same time each week.
你也可以用一些方法来解释你每周在同一时间做的事情。
“I take an English class every Wednesday”
我每周三上英语课
or “I take an English class on Wednesdays.”
或者“我星期三上英语课。”
The two sentences mean exactly the same thing
这两句话的意思完全一样
but the name of the day is plural and that tells the listener that it happens every week.
但是这一天的名字是复数形式，这就告诉对方这一天每周都会发生。
It's a regular event.
这是一个常规活动。
Using adverbs of frequency are especially helpful when you're describing your daily or your weekly routine.
当你描述你每天或每周的生活时，使用频率副词尤其有用。
So to explain, let me tell you about a typical day in my life.
所以为了解释，让我告诉你我的日常一天。
I regularly wake up at 6:00 a.m.
我通常早上6点起床。
It's early, I know, but I like to get a head start on everyone else.
