Adverbs of frequency sentence scramble

Teaching notes

Seven sentences with adverbs of frequency to rebuild: always, usually, often, sometimes and never before the main verb, and after is and are in two sentences with the verb be. There's a question too ("Do you often…?"). It suits A1–A2 learners who know the adverbs but put them in the wrong place.

Before building each sentence, ask the class where the adverb will go, then check on the board and read it aloud. Afterwards, learners change the adverb so the sentence is true for them ("I never walk to school") and tell a partner. As a follow-up, they write five sentences about their week with a different adverb in each. Play it live so each learner works on their own phone, or print it as a worksheet.
