Friday Message 22/7/2016 Adverbs of Frequency Hello! How are you today? I hope you’ve had an amazing week. Seu progresso: Beginners Continue estudando Let’s look at some adverbs of definite frequency (advérbios de frequência definida), which are common in English. You may know words like “always”, “sometimes” and “usually”. These are called adverbs of indefinite frequency. However, words like “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly” and “yearly” are called adverbs of definite frequency. Do you know when to use them? Let’s look at some common adverbs of definite frequency. every hour - hourly every day - daily every week - weekly every month - monthly every year - yearly Adverbs of definite frequency, like all adverbs of definite time, tend to go at the end of a sentence. Look at these examples: • Most companies pay taxes yearly. A maioria das empresas pagam os impostos anualmente / cada ano. • The cleaner checks the toilets hourly. O faxineiro inspeciona os banheiros de hora em hora. • The directors meet weekly. Os diretores se reúnem semanalmente / todas as semanas. • The employees get paid monthly. Os funcionários recebem mensalmente / todos os meses. • I hand in reports daily. Entrego relatórios diariamente / todos os dias. Remember that every day, for example, is also an adverb, and just like the rest can be used instead of daily or every week instead of weekly. Sometimes, usually for reasons of emphasis or style, some adverbs of definite frequency may go at the front of the sentence, for example: Às vezes, por razões de ênfase ou de estilo, alguns advérbios de frequência definida podem ser colocados no princípio da frase, por exemplo: • Every day she comes to work late! Ela chega atrasada no trabalho todos os dias! • Every week I wake up sad! Todas as semanas acordo triste! I hope you enjoyed this lesson and learnt how to use adverbs of definite frequency!
