This is the thirty-fourth lesson in our beginner level Spanish course and we will look at Spanish Adverbs of Frequency.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

So far in this course we have been looking at various Spanish verbs and learned how to use them in present tense<\/a>. We know that a verb is a word that describes an action (e.g. cocinar: to cook, correr: to run, usar: to use, vender: to sell, limpiar: to clean). Adverbs are words which add description to verbs. In this lesson we will look specifically at Spanish Adverbs of Frequency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Adverbs of Frequency are used to describe how often things happen or how often we do things. They pop up all the time and so are essential to learn early on in your studies.<\/p>\n
