ADVERBS IN ENGLISH

An adverb is a word that changes or qualifies the meaning of a verb, adjective, other adverb, clause,sentence or any other word or phrase, except that it does not include the adjectives and determiners that directly modify nouns. Adverbs are traditionally regarded as one of the parts of speech, although the wide variety of the functions performed by words classed as adverbs means that it is hard to treat them as a single uniform category.



Adverbs typically answer questions such as how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to what extent?. This function is called the adverbial function, and is realized not just by single words (i.e., adverbs) but by adverbial phrases and adverbial clauses.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverb

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

We usually put these adverbs in the middle of the sentence, between the subject and the verb:
  • We often go to the cinema.
  • He sometimes visits me at home.
  • I usually drink coffee.

We can also put them at the very beginning or end of the sentence. This makes them stronger:
  • Often I go to the cinema.
  • He goes to the cinema often.
  • But never: I go often to the cinema.


Here are some other expressions we can use to say 'how often'. All of these longer phrases go at the beginning or the end of the sentence but not in the middle.
  • once in a while: I go to the cinema once in a while.
  • every now and again: Susan drinks wine every now and again.
  • from time to time: From time to time I visit my mother.
  • To say how often something happens, you can use a number or 'several' or 'many', followed by 'times'.( If the number is one, use 'once' instead of 'one time'. If the number is two use 'twice,' instead of 'two times') Then add 'a' and a period of time:
  • We go to the cinema twice a week.
  • She takes these tablets three times a day.
  • He changes the sheets once a fortnight (fortnight = two weeks).
  • We meet him several times a year.
  • She visits my parents once a month.
  • He can also use 'every' + period of time:
  • every morning
  • every day
  • every Tuesday
  • every week
  • every month
  • A day of the week with 's' at the end (for example 'on Tuesday s ') means the same as 'every Tuesday':
  • I take a dance class on Wednesdays.
  • I relax on Saturday

Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get
advice from someone with experience. Any help would be
enormously appreciated!
