Adverbs of definite frequency (наречия определенной частотности)

Let’s look at some adverbs of definite frequency (наречия определенной частотности), which are common in English. You may know words like “always”, “sometimes” and “usually”. These are called adverbs of indefinite frequency. However, words like “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly” and “yearly” are called adverbs of definite frequency. Do you know when to use them? Let’s look at some common adverbs of definite frequency. every hour - hourly every day - daily every week - weekly every month - monthly every year - yearly Adverbs of definite frequency, like all adverbs of definite time, tend to go at the end of a sentence. Look at these examples: • Most companies pay taxes yearly. Большинство предприятий платит налоги ежегодно / каждый год. • The cleaner checks the toilets hourly. Уборщица проверяет туалеты ежечасно / каждый час. • The directors meet weekly. Директора собираются еженедельно / каждую неделю. • The employees get paid monthly. Сотрудникам платят ежемесячно / каждый месяц. • I hand in reports daily. сдаю отчеты ежедневно / каждый день. Remember that every day, for example, is also an adverb, and just like the rest can be used instead of daily or every week instead of weekly. Sometimes, usually for reasons of emphasis or style, some adverbs of definite frequency may go at the front of the sentence, for example: Иногда некоторые наречия определенной частотности могут стоять в начале предложения, чтобы подчеркнуть частоту действия или придать предложению выразительности: • Every day she comes to work late! Она опаздывает на работу каждый день! • Every week I wake up sad! Каждую неделю я просыпаюсь грустным!
