Alright! Let’s get started!

When you want to know how often something occurs, you ask questions like: “How often?” or “How frequently?”

If you want to show exactly how frequently something occurs, you use words like daily, weekly, once or twice, three times, etc.

Example:

How often do you go to the gym?

“I go to the gym daily, weekly, it all depends on my mood.”

Here are some similar words that you can use to tell people how often something happens:

Hourly, monthly, yearly, every second, once a minute, twice a year, once, twice, etc

On the other hand, when we can’t guarantee how often something happens, we use words like often or rarely. These words still give us an idea of the frequency, but not accurately.
