Adverbs of Frequency Juniors.pdf

PUPIL’S BOOK 6

Worksheet 1: September

Teacher’s notes

Language focus:

Adverbs of frequency

Preparation:

No worksheet required but students will need a pen and paper

As a group: • Make a list of adverbs on the board. Put them in order of frequency

as follows:

Always

Often

Sometimes

Occasionally

Never

• Now tell the students that you are going to tell them sentences

about yourself and they have to listen to the sentence and write it

down. However they must change the adverb so that the sentence

is true for them.

• For example say, I never play tennis .

• The students must listen to the sentence and write it down but they

must change the adverb so that the sentence is true for them. For

example, if they do play tennis, they may write, I sometimes play

tennis , or I often play tennis .

• Of course, if they never play tennis then they would simply write

the same sentence, I never play tennis .

• Continue in this way. Dictate about six or seven sentences to the

students. Each time they must write down the sentence but change

the adverb of frequency to make it true for them. Here are a few

suggested sentences:

I often read books in English.

I never play football.

I sometimes watch films in English.

I always eat rice.

I often listen to music.

I never watch television.

Additional ideas: • This activity is very effective because the students are

personalising the information and thinking about their own

circumstances. It also helps them with word order and of course it

is good as a dictation and listening activity.

• Ask selected students to read out their sentences. The rest of the

students listen and if they have written the same sentence, they

stand up. For example if the student reads out his/her first sentence

as, I sometimes play tennis , all the students who have written the

same sentence must stand up.
