Fascinating Fact:

souvent means “often”, parfois means “sometimes”.

In GCSE Fast French, adverbs relating to time help you add precision, such as whether something happens regularly, occasionally, soon, or already. They also test accuracy, because placement can change how natural your sentence sounds.

Key Terms

  • Adverb: A word that adds extra detail to a verb, often describing when, how, or how often something happens.
  • Frequency: How often an action happens, for example every day, rarely, or from time to time.
  • Word order: The usual position of words in a sentence, which helps your French sound correct and clear.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Where do adverbs of frequency go in French?

Many adverbs of frequency can go after the verb in a simple tense. In a two-verb tense, an adverb often fits after the first verb, before the second part, so the sentence stays smooth.

Can I put a time adverb at the start of a French sentence?

Yes, a time adverb or time phrase can go at the start to set the scene, like “Yesterday” or “Later”. This is common in writing and helps the reader follow the timeline.

Do French adverbs change for masculine, feminine, or plural?

Most adverbs do not change for gender or number, so they usually stay the same. This makes them simpler than adjectives, which often need different endings.
