Today I taught Lena from Germany – We studied lots of adverbs and how to talk about your habits in English. Check them out below!
New Words
once in a blue moon = very rarely
once in a while = sometimes
periodically = regularly / repeatedly
Important tips
Remember that we can use these with present and past tense to talk about HABITS and FACTS about our lives. Things that are permanent not temporary
I often study Chinese after work
I study Chinese once in a blue moon
I always ate junk food when I was younger (past)
I ate junk food once in a while when I was younger (past)
If you use past tense it means it is NOT true now!
Position – adverb position can be flexible but as a general rule…
once in a while / now and then / once in a blue moon go at the end of the sentence……The others go before the verb
Subject + Adverb + Verb + Object
I always go shopping
Use them to talk about your habits, other people’s habits and your past habits too!
