Introduction

Adverbs sind Substantive, die als Modifikatoren anderer Elemente der Klausel fungieren. Sie können eine breite Palette von Informationen zur Verfügung stellen.

Diejenigen, die verwendet wurden, um Informationen über die Häufigkeit eines Ereignisses zu liefern, heißen Adverbs of Frequency.

{Sehe Adverbs – Frequency, A1 level}

EXTRA: Adverbs = Adverbien; Adverbs of Frequency = Adverbien der Frequenz.

Form

Um die Häufigkeit eines Ereignisses zu beschreiben, verwenden wir Adverbs of Frequency. Einige davon sind unten aufgeführt:

  • Indefinite frequency: now and then, seldom, occasionally, frequently, regularly, constantly
  • Definite frequency: daily, weekly, monthly, periodically, yearly

Um genauere Informationen über die Frequenz zu liefern, verwenden wir auch die folgenden Adverbien: Daily, weekly, monthly, periodically, yearly.

Example

Adverbs of indefinite frequency

  • They constantly wear a cap.
  • frequently have headaches.
  • Now and then we wash.
  • He has a flat in London now, but he still comes home occasionally.
  • She exercises regularly.
  • seldom go to the beach.

Adverbs of definite frequency

  • You go running daily.
  • We do physical exercise monthly.
  • He periodically complains about his inner ear.
  • Martin has weekly visits from his mother.
  • I pay for the ambulance service yearly.

Use

Adverbs of Frequency werden auch als Adverbien der Zeit verwendet, um zu beschreiben, wie oft/häufig etwas passiert. Adverbien sind in der Regel nach den Hilfsverben „to be“ oder „to have“ (“I’m rarely at home”) und vor anderen Verben (I rarely go to the dentist) positioniert:

  1. Never (not at any time);
  2. Rarely (not often);
  3. Now and then (from time to time);
  4. Seldom (on only a few occasions);
  5. Sometimes (on some occasions but not always or often);
  6. Occasionally (sometimes but not often);
  7. Often (many times);
  8. Usually (at most times);
  9. Frequently (often);
  10. Regularly (often);
  11. Constantly (all the time or often);
  12. Always (at all times).

Summary

Adverbs sind wichtig, da sie andere Elemente in einem Satz ändern. Auf Englisch können Adverbien Informationen über die Häufigkeit eines Ereignisses geben und diese werden als Adverbs of Frequency bezeichnet.

Die wichtigsten Adverbs of Frequency sind: Never, rarely, now and then, seldom, sometimes, occasionally, often, usually, frequently, regularly, constantly und always.

Zum Beispiel:
— „I never go to the gym.“ = The subject (I) at no time goes to the gym.
— „I sometimes go to the gym.“ = The subject (I) goes to the gym on some occasions.
— „I frequently go to the gym.“ = The subject (I) often goes to the gym.

NOTE: Adverbien werden normalerweise nach Hilfsverben positioniert (to be/to have) und vor anderen Verben positioniert.
