How often do you + verb

1. Warm-up Activity (Getting Familiar with Frequency Words)

  • Write frequency adverbs on the board:
    Always – Usually – Often – Sometimes – Rarely – Never
  • Show examples and ask students to rank them from most to least frequent.
  • Example Sentences:
    • I always drink coffee in the morning.
    • I sometimes watch TV at night.
    • I never eat junk food.

2. Introduction to the Structure

  • Write the question pattern on the board:
    "How often do you + verb?"
    Example:
    • How often do you exercise?
    • How often do you read books?
  • Model the answers using frequency adverbs.

3. Interactive Drilling (Pair or Group Work)

Activity: "Find Someone Who..."

  • Prepare a worksheet or list of questions like:
    • How often do you eat pizza?
    • How often do you play video games?
    • How often do you go to the cinema?
  • Students walk around and ask their classmates, writing down answers.

4. Role-play & Personalization

  • In pairs, students create a mini-dialogue using the pattern:
    A: How often do you go shopping?
    B: I usually go shopping on weekends. How about you?
    A: I rarely go shopping.

5. Fun Game – "Guess the Habit"

  • One student mimes an action (e.g., reading a book).
  • Others ask: "How often do you read books?"
  • The student responds using a frequency adverb.

6. Wrap-up & Speaking Challenge

  • Students share 2-3 habits using the "How often do you..." structure.
  • Encourage a short group discussion on daily habits.
