Couples Retreat: Adverbs of Frequency

This movie has very funny scenes, but it could be better. This opening scene is very nice and I used it to practice the use of adverbs of frequency, making this grammar point more attractive to deal with.





A. Talk to a partner:


1. Are you married? Do you have a girlfriend (boyfriend)? Talk about him or her.
2. Which activities do you like to do together?
3. Which activities you don't like to do together?
B. Watch the movie segment and read the activities below. Which ones can you see in the segment? Then write sentences saying how often you and your beloved perform them together. Use the adverbs always, often, usually, sometimes, seldom, rarely and never in your sentences















Ex:


1. Ride a bike
We often ride a bike together


2. Vacuum the house


3. clean the house


4. Laugh


5. Go dancing


6. Go to birthday parties


7. Go jogging


8. Work out


9. Talk on the phone


10. Take pictures
C. Now rewrite the sentences above about yourself. How often do you perform them without your partner? Use the following expressions:



Once - Twice - Three, Four, or More Times

A

Day - Week - Month - Year - In a life time



Ex: 1. I ride a bike three times a week.

2. ...........................................

3. ..........................................

4. ..........................................

5. ..........................................
