Now let's review the use of Adverbs of Time and practice a bit.
Remember that we use adverbs of time to show when an action happened or for how long it has been happening
nodes that we please.
These adverbs at the end of the sentence create a sentence using the words in the brackets.
Why.
Yesterday you to be absent.
Why were you absent yesterday.
Note that sometimes Adverbs of Time can't be put at the beginning of the sentence.
And that's to give a different emphasis create a sentence using the following words in the brackets.
James to realize soon that he to make a mistake
soon James realized that he made a mistake.
Also remember that in the adverbial phrases that tell us for how long something has been happening for
it's always followed by an expression of duration while since it's always followed by an expression
of a point in time now read the following sentences and fill in the blanks using four or SINCE
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU IN OUR
I've been reading for you for an hour bill has been trying to find a job.
Me
Bill has been trying to find a job since me.
Now we please adverbs that tell us how often something happens before the main verb but after auxiliary
verbs.
Note that if there is a verb to be then the adverb goes after the main verb now create the sentence
using the following words in the brackets.
We to buy groceries often together.
We often buy groceries together
C to be late usually for classes
she is usually late for classes
and if you need to use more than one adverb of time in a sentence.
Make sure you use them in the following order.
1 How long.
2 How often.
3 When
now read the following sentences and create a sentence using the following words in the bracket.
