:~ Adverbs of Frequency
IV • Adverbs of frequency tell us how often something happens .
• Adverbs of frequency (always, usually, often, sometimes, seldom/rarely, never, etc.) come
before the main verb (read , work, etc.) but after the verb to be, auxiliary verbs (do, have,
etc.) or modal verbs (can, should, etc.). Hoy!ever, adverbs of frequency go before auxiliary
verbs in short answers.
Tina often goes skiing at the weekend. "Do you help your mum with the housework?"
Ben is sometimes rude to other people. "Yes, I usually do."
You can always call me if you need help.
• The adverbs never, seldom and rarely have a negative meaning and are never used with
the word not. I rarely go to bed late. (NOT: J rarefy €leR 't ~e .. .)

Stative Verbs
18 Verbs describing a permanent state (stative verbs) do not normally have continuous forms.
These are:
• verbs of the senses: see, hear, smell, feel, taste, etc. (We often use can or could with these
verbs.) Can you see that tall boy over there?
However, the verbs look, watch and listen express deliberate actions and can be used in
continuous forms. Be quiet please! I'm listening to the news. BUT I can't hear you. Can you speak
louder, please? 1

Note: The verbs feel and hurt can be used in either continuous or simple forms.
A: How are you feeling today? / How do you feel today?
B: My leg is hurting. / My leg hurts.
• verbs of opinion: agree, believe, consider, etc. I believe he's telling the truth.
• verbs of emotion: feel, forgive, hate, like, love, etc. Harry likes rock music.
• other verbs: appear (= seem), be, belong, fit (= be the right shape and size for sth),
have (= possess), know, look (= appear), need, prefer, require, want, weigh, wish, etc.
He knows where Peter is. (NOT: is KR9WiRfij )
