When to use Adverbs of Frequency (आवृत्ति का क्रिया विशेषण):

a. Always use adverbs of frequency to discuss how often something happens. (Adverbs of frequency हम तब इस्तेमाल करते हैं जब हमें बताना हो कोई चीज़ कितनी बार होती है)

b. Adverbs of frequency are often used to indicate routine or repeated activities, so they are often used with the present simple tense. (नियमित रूप से होने वाली क्रिया का संकेत देने के लिए adverbs of frequency का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है, इनका इस्तेमाल अक्सर सामान्य वर्तमान काल के साथ किया जाता है)

c. If a sentence has only one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. (यदि किसी वाक्य में एक ही क्रिया हो तो adverb of frequency को वाक्य के बीच में रखा जाता है ताकि वह वषय के बाद आये लेकिन क्रिया के पहले)

For example: Tom never flies. He always takes the bus.

d. When a sentence contains more than one verb, place the adverb of frequency before the main verb. (जब किसी वाक्य में एक से ज़्यादा क्रिया हो तो मुख्य क्रिया के पहले adverb of frequency को रखा जाता है)

For example: They have often visited Europe.

e. When using an adverb of frequency in the negative or in forming a question, place it before the main verb. (जब नकारात्मक वाक्य या सवाल पूछ रहे हों तब adverb of frequency मुख्य क्रिया के पहले आता है.)

For example: Do you usually get up so late?
