Notes for teachers

Start with the percentage scale in Exercise 1 and draw it on the board for learners to refer to. The most common mistake is word order. Learners often put the adverb after the main verb (I go always) or before be (She never is late), so drill both patterns: adverb + verb, and be + adverb. As a follow-up, learners can interview a partner with How often do you...? and then write five true sentences about them.
