¿QUÉ VOY A APRENDER? (PRESENTATION)

Kevin never comes to computer class.

        He spends a lot of time with his friends for  the soccer team.

How often do you exercise?              I play soccer every day.

                                                           I go to the park about once a week.

                                                           I don`t exercise very often

                                                           I don´t exercise

 We use adverbs of frequency to talk about how often we do something. We place them:

* Before the main verb. Ex:  John often plays football on Saturdays

* After the verb BE.  Ex: She is never late for school.
