Choosing the adverb that describes an action done every day.
Which adverb of frequency means "always, 100 percent of the time"?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: B)always
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "always". Frequency adverbs form an ordered scale from never through always, and students learn them far better as a scale than as a list of unrelated words. Being able to say where a word sits on the scale is what lets a student choose between often and frequently in a sentence of their own.

Respuesta correcta: B)always
A)usuallyUsually marks a high frequency but not a certainty, since it leaves room for exceptions.
B)alwaysAlways is the strongest of the frequency adverbs and marks an action that happens every single time.
C)sometimesSometimes marks an occasional action, which is much lower on the scale than always.
D)neverNever marks the complete opposite, an action that does not happen at all rather than one that always happens.

Placing a frequency adverb in a sentence with the verb to be.
Where does the frequency adverb go? "She is always late for class." Which sentence places it correctly?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)She is always late for class.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "She is always late for class". Position is the whole difficulty of frequency adverbs, because with an ordinary verb they go before the verb and with to be they go after it, and Spanish has no equivalent rule. Fixing the position in the most common frame first, to be, is what makes the harder main-verb cases learnable later in the week.

Respuesta correcta: D)She is always late for class.
A)Always she is late for class.An adverb cannot open the sentence in front of the subject in this pattern, so the word order is wrong.
B)She always is late for class.With to be the adverb belongs after the verb, and putting it first makes the sentence sound unnatural.
C)She is late always for class.Placing the adverb after the main noun breaks the pattern, which requires it directly after the verb to be.
D)She is always late for class.With the verb to be the frequency adverb goes between the verb and the rest of the sentence.

Reading a short text about a student's habits.
Read: "Laura plays football twice a week. She never watches television on school days." What is true about Laura?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)She does not watch television on school days.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "She does not watch television on school days". The two frequency expressions in the text work differently, since twice a week is a counted frequency and never is an absolute one, and the item asks the student to interpret each of them correctly. Students who read only the numbers miss the absolute statement, which is the part that carries the meaning here.

Respuesta correcta: A)She does not watch television on school days.
A)She does not watch television on school days.The text states directly that she never watches television on school days, and never includes never.
B)She plays football every day.Twice a week is two times in seven days, which is not the same as every day.
C)She watches television every day.The text says she never watches it on school days, which is the opposite of every day.
D)She does not play any sport.The text says she plays football, and football is a sport, so this contradicts the text.

Placing a frequency adverb with an ordinary main verb.
Which sentence places the adverb correctly with the verb to eat?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)He usually eats breakfast at home.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "He usually eats breakfast at home". This is the counterpart to the earlier item about to be, and doing both together is what lets the student apply the rule rather than memorise one frame. The adverb before the main verb is the position English requires, and a student who has internalised it for one verb will transfer it to the rest of the week without difficulty.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: C)He usually eats breakfast at home.
A)He usually eat breakfast at home.The verb should be eats in the third person singular, so there is an agreement error as well.
B)He eats usually breakfast at home.Placing the adverb after the verb breaks the pattern for main verbs, which require it before them.
C)He usually eats breakfast at home.With an ordinary main verb the frequency adverb goes before the verb, which is where usually sits here.
D)Usually he eats breakfast at home.An adverb of frequency does not normally open a sentence in English the way this version does.

Choosing the adverb that fits a described habit.
A student reads a book two or three times a week. Which adverb describes this?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)sometimes
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "sometimes". Turning a description of frequency into the right adverb is the productive half of this week's work, and it requires placing a described habit somewhere on the scale rather than looking a word up. The three distractors sit at clearly different points, which makes the item a real judgement rather than a guess.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: A)sometimes
A)sometimesSometimes marks an action that happens now and then, which fits a habit of two or three times a week.
B)alwaysAlways would mean the student reads every single time the opportunity arises, which is more often than this.
C)neverNever would mean the student does not read at all, which is the opposite of what the description says.
D)hardly everHardly ever means almost never, which is far below the two or three times a week described here.

Answering a teacher's question about how often something happens.
A teacher asks: "How often do you eat vegetables?" Which answer is the most natural?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)I usually eat vegetables, but not every day.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "I usually eat vegetables, but not every day". Answering a how often question needs an adverb of frequency, and a good answer often also marks the exceptions so it is not overstated. Choosing the response that sounds like something a person would actually say, rather than merely a grammatical string, is the communicative judgement this item is really about.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: D)I usually eat vegetables, but not every day.
A)I never eat vegetables at all.Never claims the opposite extreme, and the question deserves an answer that reflects the real habit.
B)I am eating vegetables now.The present continuous reports what is happening at this moment rather than answering how often it happens.
C)Vegetables are for eating.This is a general statement about vegetables and gives no information at all about the speaker's own habit.
D)I usually eat vegetables, but not every day.Usually states a high frequency and the second clause marks the exceptions, which is exactly the nuance of the question.

Using an adverb of frequency in the negative.
Which sentence correctly says that a student does not usually arrive late?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: B)He doesn't usually arrive late.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "He doesn't usually arrive late". The negative brings the auxiliary does in front of the subject, and the frequency adverb has to be positioned between that auxiliary and the main verb. This is a harder position than the affirmative case because the auxiliary adds a second element the student has to account for, and getting it wrong is the most common error at this point in the unit.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: B)He doesn't usually arrive late.
A)He usually doesn't arrive late.The adverb belongs between the auxiliary and the main verb, and putting it first makes the emphasis wrong here.
B)He doesn't usually arrive late.In the negative the frequency adverb sits between the auxiliary does not and the main verb arrive.
C)He doesn't arrive usually late.Placing the adverb after the main verb breaks the required word order in the negative.
D)He not usually arrives late.The negative has to be formed with the auxiliary does not rather than with not placed before the verb.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "He doesn't usually arrive late". The negative brings the auxiliary does in front of the subject, and the frequency adverb has to be positioned between that auxiliary and the main verb.

Comparing the frequency claims in two short sentences.
Read: "A: I go to the gym every morning. B: I go to the gym twice a week." What can you say about the two?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: A)A goes more often than B.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "A goes more often than B". The item requires converting both expressions into the same scale before comparing them, since every morning and twice a week are not the same kind of quantity. A student who compares the words rather than the frequencies will get this wrong, and that habit of normalising before comparing is what transfers to the data questions in the exam.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: A)A goes more often than B.
A)A goes more often than B.Every morning means every day, which is more often than the twice a week that B reports.
B)They go to the gym the same number of times.Every morning is seven times a week while twice a week is two, so the frequencies are not the same.
C)B goes more often than A.This reverses the comparison, since seven times a week is clearly more than twice a week.
D)Both go to the gym once a day.Only A describes a daily habit, and B describes two visits across the whole week.

Finding the error in a sentence about a habit.
A student writes: "She goes to school always by bus." What is the problem?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: D)The frequency adverb is in the wrong position.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "The frequency adverb is in the wrong position". The sentence is otherwise entirely correct, including the tense and the preposition, which makes this a clean test of the one rule the week is about. Distinguishing an actual fault from two things that merely look unusual is the checking habit that lets a student trust or distrust their own writing.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: D)The frequency adverb is in the wrong position.
A)The verb is in the wrong tense.The present simple goes is correct for a regular habit, and the error is not one of tense.
B)By bus should replace by the bus.Bus used as a means of transport takes no article, so by bus is already correct.
C)The article is missing before school.School used in this general sense of a building does not take an article, so nothing is missing.
D)The frequency adverb is in the wrong position.With a main verb the frequency adverb goes before the verb, so always belongs between she and goes.

Choosing the most accurate description of a habit from a school survey.
A survey says: "3 of 30 students never do homework." Which statement describes this correctly?
Elige una opción para comprobar tu respuesta.
Respuesta correcta: C)A few students never do homework.
💡 Explicación
The correct answer is "A few students never do homework". Turning a frequency adverb into a claim about how common something is requires looking at the numbers rather than repeating the word, and never describes the group, not its size. Converting an adverb into a judgement about quantity is the reasoning behind many data questions in the exam, so it is worth practising here in its simplest form.
Ver respuesta
Respuesta correcta: C)A few students never do homework.
A)Most students never do homework.Only 3 of the 30 students are in that group, so the majority does the opposite.
B)All students do homework.The 3 students who never do it mean the opposite, so this overstates the case.
C)A few students never do homework.Three students out of thirty is a small number, so a few is the accurate description of that group.
D)The survey does not give any information.The figures are explicit, and they support a definite conclusion about how common the behaviour is.
💡 Explicación
