4. Adverbs of Frequency
We use adverbs of frequency to say how often we do things. Adverbs of
frequency go before all verbs EXCEPT the verb to be.
De menos a mas:
Never– hardly ever – rarely (seldom) – sometimes – usually (often)- always
Note 1: Remember that with never and hardly ever we use POSITIVE sentences.
Example:
– We don’t never smoke. (INCORRECT)
– We never smoke.
Note 2: With don’t and doesn’t we use the adverb of frequency after these and before the
verb.
Example:
– We don’t usually travel.
Note 3: Sometimes can go at the beginning of the sentence. (Sometimes puede ir al
comienzo de una oración)
The adverbs of frequency answer the typical question starting with “How often”.
Examples:
1) How often do you brush your teeth?
I always brush my teeth
2) How often does your mother cook?
She seldom/rarely cooks.
3) How often is Claudio late for class.
He is never late for class
** How often = Con que frecuencia. Para decir la horas exacta uno tambien puede
preguntar (What time?) Para responder la hora exacta utilizamos la preposicion “at” antes
de la hora.
Ejemplo:
What time do you wake up?
I wake up at 7:00 am.

En esta lección hablaremos de los object pronouns y para esto es importamte que entiendan
bien los subject / subjective pronouns (LECCIÓN 2)
Object Pronouns:
Definition:: It is a pronoun that is used as an object in the sentence.
Remember: A subjective or subject pronoun does the action and goes BEFORE the verb
while object pronouns go AFTER the verb.
OBJECT PRONOUNS :
SINGULAR: —> Me (first person) You (2nd) Her / him / it (third person)
PLURAL —> Us (1st) You (2nd) Them (3rd)
Figura 1
** No confundir con los possessive adjectives : my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their (VER

Figura # 2
7. * Como vemos los object pronouns reciben la action del verbo y pueden ser direct or
indirect objects. EN español esto se entiende como me, le, se, nos, os etc.. En ingles
siempre que hay un object pronoun hay que colocarlo en la oración (al igual que con el
subject pronoun).
Otros Ejemplos:
Imaginense que ven unos zapatos y dicen “Me gustan”. Esto en ingles no es I like o peor
Me like. Primero que I like esta incompleto puesto que no se dice elo objeto. Me like es una
patada a mi higado puesto que los object pronouns nunca hacen la acción. Lo corrcto es. I
like them. (them por que se refiere a zapatos)
- La oracion: Quiero darleun beso. —–> I want to give her a kiss. (suponiendo que el
objeto es una mujer)
Ejemplo:
Le quiero mucho. —–>> Quien quiere (subject) a quien quiere (object)
I love him/her. (Como vemos no hay tácito y se debe poner el “I” y tambien el objecto (en
este caso indirecto) him her o tambien it deacuerdo al contexto.
