Choose the appropriate example of the Adverb of Frequency:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → "She always eats breakfast."
An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.
Adverb of frequency:
- Frequency means how often something happens. An adverb of frequency answers the question how often? (always, usually, often, sometimes, never).
- In this sentence, always tells how often she eats breakfast. She eats it every day.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: "He dances gracefully." — Incorrect. “Gracefully” tells how he dances. So it is an adverb of manner.
Option 3: "I cooked lunch early." — Incorrect. “Early” tells when I cooked lunch. So it is an adverb of time.
Option 4: "They played soccer at 1 a.m." — Incorrect. “At 1 a.m.” tells when they played. It is an adverb phrase of time, not of frequency.
