sometimes (not always):
I sometimes skip breakfast.

rarely (not often): 

We rarely go to movies.

never (0% of the time):

2. With be, the adverb comes after the verb. 

She is always late.

He is often tired.

I am sometimes busy.

Explanations & Examples

Adverbs of Place…

=> Tell us where something happens.

=> This group includes prepositions.

=>Prepositions need a subject, adverbs of place don't.

=> Adverbs of place usually go after a verb.

Compare:

You need to go outside (adverb) =>

Don't color outsidethe lines (preposition)

Everyone sit down (adverb) =>

It's just downthe road (preposition)

Do you know anywhere near here that fixes bikes? => do you know of a place?

Some other adverbs of place, include: Up, inside, above, before, in front of, around, everywhere, in, nearby, here, somewhere, nowhere

Adverbs of Direction…

=> This is a sub-group of adverbs of place

=> They tell us which way something is

=> Adverbs of direction usually go after a verb.

=> Many adverbs of direction end in -wards and means towards somewhere: Upwards, homewards, forward

Other examples include: Uphill, away, left

Facing forward, it's on your left.

You need to go uphill in a low gear.

Move away from the cakes!

Adverbs of Indefinite Frequency…

=> These tell us how often things happen

=>Always, usually, never, often, repeatedly, typically, once in a while

=> The position of these can change:

Always tell the truth!

I always brush my teeth after breakfast.

I will always love you.

Once in a while, I'll Skype him.

I'll Skype him once in a while.

Maybe, once in a while, you could do it!

Adverbs of Time…

=> tells us when or how often something happens

=>daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, annually => These all mean one time:

=>daily = one time a day

=>yearly = one time a year

We have weekly meetings.

We meet weekly.

=> yesterday, today, tomorrow, later, now, last year, all year, for a week, for five hours are some others we use:

I saw him yesterday.

Yesterday I had a picnic.

I will be in a meeting for two hours.

For the next two hours I'll be in a meeting.

Last year I went to Germany.

Look out!

LOOK OUT! Many of these adverbs can be moved around in the sentence and used at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. But not all of them. Look at the examples and learn them!

Always listen to your teacher.

Do you always walk that way?

But not:

I go there always.

Do you sometimes want to give more information about HOW something is done? 

Do you know how to do this in English?

Do you know what a verb and an adverb are? 

This is where this flashcard will come in handy!

Today you will learn:

- How and where to use 'quickly'

- How and where to use 'badly'

- How and where to use 'suddenly'

- The mistakes to avoid 

…and some interesting trivia!

Don't forget!

Quickly, badly and suddenly are adverbs, which means they describe a verb, which is the action.

Quickly is used for speed and means fast.

Suddenly is used for an abrupt change in course.

Badly is used for quality and for something we didn't do well.

Explanations & Examples

Let's start with the verb

A verb is a doing or being word, like eat, go, like, think, run, be or have.

Next up: Adverb

An adverb, to put it simply, gives more information on the verb and how it is done. We can eat [verb] quickly, slowly, carefully, noisily – all adverbs.

Badly is about QUALITY

It's badly made.

You sang that really badly.

I badly need to go to the supermarket, I have no food! => I really need to go…

Quickly is about SPEED

She runs quickly.

You finished quickly.

Don't eat so quickly!

He drank his coffee quickly and had another one.

Suddenly implies an ABRUPT action

He stopped suddenly.

Suddenly, he stopped.

He suddenly stopped.

Keep in mind:

Suddenly can be moved around, but the meaning may change slightly:

He stopped suddenly when the dog ran in front of his car.

Suddenly, he stopped. He looked at his friend, and said: "Do you know where we are?"

He suddenly stopped texting me, and I don’t know why!

Look out!

LOOK OUT! Be careful WHERE you put the adverb in the sentence as it changes the meaning.

I badly want [something] / I want it badly.

I ran quickly and beat my record / I quickly ran and told him to stop.

The bus stopped suddenly, and everyone fell over / I heard a noise, and suddenly I stopped / Suddenly, there was a loud noise! Everyone screamed!

Did you know?

In US History, the story of Paul Revere, a colonial militiaman, is well-known. Legend says he heard about the British army's secret imminent attack, so he quickly jumped on his horse and ran through the night warning everyone: "The British are coming!".

Unfortunately, this story is only fictional, and when people find this out, they suddenly become disappointed. As for that surprise attack, well, it ended badly for the colonists.

Good to know...

Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you want to talk about finished or ongoing tasks?

Did you know that in English we have a group of adverbs that do just the job?

This is where this flashcard will come in handy!

Today you will learn:

- How and when to use 'still', 'yet', and 'already', like a pro

- The mistakes to avoid

- …and some interesting trivia!

Don't forget!

Still and yet are both used for things that are not currently finished, but will eventually be done. Already is used for something that has been completed or when asking to see if something has been finished.

Explanations & Examples

Still

- Still is used for something that is not finished right now, or something that has not even started.

- The use of still suggests we will do or finish an action or a task at some point.

- Still goes after a pronoun, noun, or name (you, the dog, Tom).

I still haven't replied to the email => I plan to reply but haven't had time.

Are you still going to the gym every week? => I thought you stopped going.

I still need to get some gas for the car => I planned to do this but couldn't find time.

I'm still doing it => I have started but not finished something.


Yet

- Yet is used for something that is not finished right now, or something that has not even started.

- The use of yet suggests we will do or finish an action or a task at some point.

Hold on. Are yet and still the same thing?

Yes and no. The meaning is the same but their place in a sentence is different.

- Yet goes at the end of a sentence usually.

I haven't eaten yet. => I plan to eat at some point today.

- Still follows the pronoun or the noun

I still need eat => I haven't eaten until now, but will do so soon.

Already

"Already" is mainly used for something that has been completed or to check how it is advancing.

It usually goes after a pronoun, noun, or name (he, the dog, Sally) and it is often used with the present perfect or simple past.

I've already eaten lunch.

I ate already.

Have you already eaten?

Look out!

Make sure you don't get 'still' and 'yet' confused. The words mean the same thing but their placement in the sentence is different.

I still haven’t done it = I haven’t done it yet.

Have you still not done it? = Have you done it yet?

Did you know?

Although there have already been 12 people to walk on the moon there is yet to be anyone who has visited it more than once. However, we still have a lot to learn about our universe.
