Question

Identify which of the following sentence(s) contains an adverb of frequency:

• A. He sings so beautifully.
• B. You have studied enough for today.
• C. She usually visits her hometown in the summer.
• D. She banged on the door angrily.

Answer 1

The correct option is C She usually visits her hometown in the summer.

The adverb in option A, "beautifully" describes how the action occurs. It is thus an adverb of manner and is incorrect. Option B, too, in incorrect because the adverb "enough" describes the intensity of action (studying) and not the frequency. It is an adverb of degree.

The adverb "angrily" in option D describes how the action occurs (manner), making it the incorrect answer. Now "usually" is the adverb in option C. It describes how often the action occurs, that is, how often the subject visits her hometown. Therefore, option C contains an adverb of frequency, making it the correct answer.
