Always, sometimes and never
Overview
Welcome to our beginner ESL lesson on frequency adverbs. These adverbs, including always, sometimes, and never, play a pivotal role in describing habitual actions in English. In this session, students will be introduced to these common adverbs, enabling them to express how often they undertake certain activities or events more clearly.
This lesson plan begins with suggested boardwork, offering a visual aid for presenting the target language. After that, your students will engage in several low-resource activities that centre around their eating habits, employing the newly learned frequency adverbs in discussions with classmates. We end the lesson with a classroom game idea that helps cement this freshly learned language.
