Adverbs of frequency
As noted at the beginning of this chapter, Simple Present Tense is used to express regular activities.
Therefore, in this tense we usually use adverb of frequency like always, regularly, usually, often, sometimes, every day, every week, seldom, rarely, never. You can also add details to the adverbs, for instance "everyday at 8 a.m".
