An adverb of frequency tells us how often an action is performed/happens. Adverbs of frequency are often used to talk about routines or activities you do a lot (or not very often).
For example: I always brush my teeth in the morning.
‘Always’ describes how often I brush my teeth. In this instance, it means every morning, without fail. The adverb of frequency is placed before the main verb in a sentence.
Here is a table of the most common adverbs of frequency and an indication of how frequent they are.
