Question

Adverbs of frequency give us the following information about the verb (action):

• A. How the action occurs
• B. How often the action occurs
• C. What kind of action occurs
• D. Where the action occurs

Answer 1

The correct option is B How often the action occurs

Adverbs give us different kinds of information about an action. Adverbs that describe how an action occurs are called adverbs of manner (for example, happily, easily, sadly. etc). Thus, option A is incorrect. Adverbs that describe where the actions occurs are called adverbs of place (for example, here, there, ahead, etc), making option D incorrect as well.

Adverbs that describe how often the action occurs are called adverbs of frequency (For example, frequently, sometimes, etc). It does not tell what kind of action occurs. Thus option C is wrong while option B is correct.
