hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is alicia and in this video
we're going to talk about 10
essential adverbs of frequency and time
let's get started okay but before we
start a quick reminder there are free
pdfs that feature vocabulary words and
phrases that you can download for free
from the link in the description this
one i think is probably the most
useful one that you can download to
practice with because these are useful
verbs that you can use
along with these adverbs of frequency
and time that i'm going to talk about
in this video so make sure you check
this one out okay let's get to the
lesson
okay the first word is early early
so early is the opposite of late early
is used to talk about our activities a
lot when we do something before the
scheduled time or before an appointment
or whatever
we describe that as early for example
i enjoy getting home from work early
okay
next word all right the next word is
rarely
rarely so rarely is kind of a tricky
word for some people to say
rarely another way to say rarely is not
often or
not very often rarely refers to an
action that you don't do regularly so if
you imagine this
on like a scale from zero to one hundred
percent
something that you do rarely is very
very close to zero percent of the time
very close to never so like ten 10 of
the time
or 15 of the time so something that
doesn't happen
often or something that you don't do
very often
you can describe that kind of action or
activity with the word
rarely for example it rains often in
april but rarely in august the next word
is
already already so we use already
when we want to talk about an expected
action
that has finished so this means an
action that we had
planned or something that we knew or we
expected
someone else was going to do and we want
to express that that action
has finished we use already to do that
like i've already explained the word
rarely
so something that is done that we
expected to be done
has been done we expressed that with
already
for example i'm already going to school
okay let's check out the next one the
next word is always
always always is a super useful word so
again if you imagine a scale from zero
to one hundred percent where zero
is never and at the top is one hundred
percent
you can imagine 100 as always something
that you do
100 of the time or extremely often you
want to communicate that feeling
it can be something that you do every
day or
every week every month every year for
example
you always say that all right let's go
on to the next one
the next word is never never so
never is the opposite of always as we
just talked about
with the previous word if we imagine 100
of the time is expressed with the word
always we can imagine at the other end
of the scale
zero percent of the time is expressed
with never
so something that you do zero percent of
the time or something that refers to
your life experience you have zero
percent life experience or zero life
experience doing something
so you use never to express this for
example
i've never heard this song okay
the next word is now now so
now refers to the present time
so we're not talking about frequency
with this we're referring to a point in
time in this case the present moment so
right now
i'm talking to you now you're listening
to me and so on
another example it ate too much and now
my stomach hurts
okay on to the next one often often
so often refers to something that you do
regularly so it doesn't mean it's
something that you do every day
necessarily or even every week but a
regular
activity that you do with some kind of
schedule
generally so you can use this in a
question like how often do you blah blah
or you can talk about your own
activities with like i often do
blah blah blah so this is very common
with question patterns in addition to
responses
for example how often do you work out
okay the next word is usually usually
so usually is like a step above often
so again if we imagine these words on
like a
scale often refers to something that you
do regularly
it's a little higher on a scale than
sometimes usually it's a little higher
on the scale
than often so usually refers to
something that you do
a little more regularly than often
so something that you do maybe every
morning or
most mornings or something that you do
most
mondays so you can kind of think of
usually as something that you do
most of the time like i usually
wake up and then go back to sleep
that's true or i usually
don't make steak for breakfast
okay in this example sentence i don't
usually eat breakfast
the next word is occasionally
occasionally
so occasionally you can imagine as the
same
meaning really as sometimes sometimes
and occasionally
have the same meaning yes but
occasionally sounds a little bit more
formal so i personally would not use
occasionally in everyday conversation
with my friends
i would probably use it in a
conversation
at work maybe where i needed to sound
more polite
or in a more formal maybe email for
example
in other cases like with friends and
family when i'm talking in those
situations i would probably use
sometimes but occasionally expresses the
same
feeling so you could say something like
i occasionally check the information on
our company's website to make sure that
everything is up to date
or in this example sentence i
occasionally travel to asia
on business all right let's go to the
next one
the next word is still still so
still for this video refers
to a condition or a status that remains
the same so if we want to express that
something
some condition or status has not changed
from a previous status
you can use still to express that you'll
also notice that some people use
still to express like a time or a
condition
that hasn't changed but that you feel
has
changed for example in this example
sentence we see
it's still five o'clock it's still five
o'clock
you would hear this in a situation where
maybe for example it's very very dark
suddenly and you're like oh gosh it
seems so late
you check your watch oh it's still five
o'clock
so that expresses that even though it
seems the condition or status has
changed
in fact the truth of the situation is
that it stills it remains this early
time
so when you want to express that lack of
change you can also do that with
still especially when you're talking
about time okay let's go to the next
word
the next word is sometime sometimes so i
talked about
sometimes earlier in relation to the
word occasionally
sometimes and occasionally have that
same feeling but sometimes sounds more
conversational more casual so we use
sometimes a lot in conversation
if you want to imagine sometimes on our
scale of
never to always sometimes is right in
the middle at about 50 percent
so sometimes i like to watch tv until
late at night
or sometimes i forget to call my mom on
her birthday
not for long though or sometimes i
choose the wrong thing to eat for lunch
and then my stomach is
unhappy that's true in this example
sentence sometimes i'm right
okay the next word is then then
so we use then to show progression
of activities or like progression of
status so
you might hear somebody telling a story
and saying
then or and then and then so that shows
the next
action in a series or the next action in
a story
so you can do this actually a lot in
your everyday life when you talk about
your day
like i woke up and then i ate breakfast
and then i took a shower and then i went
to work and then i went to school
so then shows that progression in this
example sentence
then i want to go to the beach all right
so that is
everything those were 10 essential
frequency
and time adverbs i hope that that was
helpful for you

comments or if you want to practice

大家好，欢迎回到最重要的词，
我的名字是艾丽西亚，在这个视频中，
我们将讨论
频率和时间的 10 个基本副词，
让我们开始吧，但在我们
开始快速提醒之前，有免费的
pdf，其中包含词汇单词和
短语 你可以
从描述中的链接免费下载
这个我认为这可能
是你可以下载练习的最有用的一个，
因为这些是有用的
动词，你可以
与这些频率和时间副词一起使用
，我是 将
在此视频中讨论，因此请确保您查看
此内容，好吧，让我们开始
上课吧，
好吧，第一个词是 early
预定时间或约会之前
或任何
我们描述的早例如
我喜欢早点下班回家
好的
下一个词好的下一个词
很少
很少所以很少是善良的 一个棘手的
词对某些人来说
很少说另一种说法很少是不
经常或
不经常很少是
指您不经常做的动作所以如果
您将其
想象成从零到百分之一百的比例
你很少做 非常
非常接近于百分之零
非常接近从不 所以像十个
10 次
或 15 次 所以
不经常发生的
事情或你不经常做的事情
你可以
用“很少”这个词来描述那种动作或活动，
例如，
4 月经常下雨，但 8 月很少下雨，下一个词
已经是，所以
当我们想谈论一个已经完成的预期
动作
时，我们使用已经完成，所以这意味着一个
动作 我们已经
计划或我们知道或我们
期望
其他人会做的事情，我们
想要表达该行动
已经完成，我们已经使用这样做，
就像我已经解释过这个词
很少
所以我们已经完成的事情
预计完成
已经完成 我们已经表达
了 例如 我已经去上学
好吧 让我们看看下一个
下一个词总是
总是 永远是一个超级有用的词
所以如果你想象一个从零到的比例
100%，其中
零永远不会，顶部是 100
%，
您可以想象 100 一如既往
，您在
100 次或非常频繁地
想要传达这种感觉，
这可能是您每天或每周都在做的事情
每个月 每年 例如
你总是说 好吧 让我们
继续下一个
用“总是”这个词，
我们可以想象在天平的另一端
，
0% 的时间
用“从来没有”
来表达 有百分之零的
生活经验或零生活
经验做某事
所以你用从不来表达这个例如
我从来没有听过这首歌
好的下一个词现在是现在所以
现在指的是现在时间
所以我们不是在谈论频率
在这种情况下，我们指的是当前时刻，所以
现在
我在和你说话，现在你在
听我说话，等等
另一个例子，它吃得太多了，现在
我的
胃痛了 下一个
经常经常是指您
经常做的事情，所以这并不
意味着您
每天或什至每周都必须做的事情，而是
您通常按照某种时间表进行的常规活动，
因此您可以在 一个
问题，比如你多久等等等等，
或者你可以谈论你自己的
活动，就像我经常做的一样
等等等等，所以
除了回答之外，这在问题模式中很常见，
例如你多久锻炼
一次好吗？ 通常
通常如此通常就像比通常高出一个步骤，
如果我们想象这些词
就像一个
规模，通常是指
你经常
做的事情，它的规模比
有时高一点
，它
比通常的规模高一点 通常是指
您
比经常更经常
做的事情，所以您可能每天
早上
或大多数早晨做的事情，或者您大多数星期一做的事情，
因此您可以将
通常视为您大部分时间做的事情，
例如我 通常会
醒来然后继续睡觉
那是真的，或者我通常
不做早餐牛排
好吧在这个例句中 我
通常不吃
早餐 下一个词是偶尔
偶尔
所以偶尔你可以想象一下 和
真的是一样的意思 有时有时
和偶尔
有相同的含义是的，
但有时听起来更
正式，所以我个人不会
在日常对话中
偶尔使用 h 我的朋友们，
我可能会在工作中的谈话中使用它，
也许在我需要听起来
更有礼貌
或更正式的地方
可能会使用它
有时但偶尔表达
同样的
感觉，所以你可以说
我偶尔检查我们公司网站上的信息，
以确保
一切都是最新的，
或者在这个例句中我
偶尔去亚洲出差，
好吧，让我们去
下一个
one next word is still so
still for this video
指的是保持不变的条件或状态，
因此如果我们想表达
某些条件或状态
与以前的状态相比没有改变，
您可以使用 still 来表达您 '
还会注意到有些人用
仍然表示一个时间或一个
没有改变但你感觉已经
改变的条件，例如在这个
例句中 w e 看到
它仍然是五点钟它仍然是五
点钟
你会在一种情况下听到这个，
例如它可能突然非常非常黑暗
并且你就像哦，天哪，
看起来太晚了
你检查你的手表哦它仍然是五
点钟 'clock
so that 表示即使
看起来条件或状态已经
改变
，但事实上情况的
真相是它仍然如此早，
所以当你想表达缺乏
变化时，你也可以这样做
，尤其是 当你在
谈论时间的时候，好吧，让我们去下一个
词，下一个词有时是有时，所以我
有时会更早地谈到这个
词，有时
有时偶尔会有
同样的感觉，但有时听起来更
会话更随意，所以我们有时使用
如果你想在我们的规模上想象一下，很多谈话有时
从不总是有时正好
在中间，大约 50%
所以有时我喜欢看电视直到
深夜
或者有时我忘记在我妈妈的
生日那天
给她打电话，或者有时我
选择了错误的午餐吃的东西
，然后我的胃
不开心，这在这个
例句中是正确的，有时我是对
的，下一个词是 then
所以我们用 then 来显示
活动的进展或
状态的进展，这样
你可能会听到有人讲故事
，然后说
then 或 then 然后，这样可以显示
系列中的下一个动作或故事中的下一个动作，
这样你就可以做 这实际上在
你的日常生活中很多，当你谈论
你的一天
就像我醒来然后我吃早餐
然后我洗个澡然后我
去工作然后我去上学
所以然后在这个例句中显示了这种进展
然后我想去海滩
，
这就是 10 个基本
频率
和时间副词的所有
