RED BOOK 5, UNIT 1: Adverbs of Frequency
This unit introduces the Adverbs of Frequency, (always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely and never) along with 12 ‘Daily Verbs’ from ‘wake up’ to ‘go to bed’ along with a selection of new VERB+NOUN combinations, ‘make a sandwich, get a haircut’ etc. We learn to use these to describe our lives, eg. ‘I sometimes wear a costume.’, as well as make questions such as, ‘What time do you usually……?’ and ‘What/when/where do you usually …?’ Students learn to make long sentences using ‘but’, eg. ‘I usually watch T.V. but sometimes I read comics.’ Finally, ‘How often do you …?’ is introduced along with the answer, ‘Once, twice, 3 times a day, week, month etc.
1) Learn the 'adverbs of frequency', 'always, usually, sometimes etc.'
This 'week' could be set as homework to save time.
