🤭 How Often Do You Lie? Adverbs of Frequency
A2 Teens Lesson 04 introduces adverbs of frequency through a fun, relatable theme: the harmless lies teens tell every day. The lesson opens with a 'quick confession' warm-up that uses the target language naturally (How often do you say 'I'm fine'?). The grammar core is a visual 100%-to-0% frequency scale with color-graded rows from sage-green (always) through sunshine-yellow (sometimes) to coral (never), each showing the adverb, a natural example, and approximate percentage. Three position-rule boxes cover: Rule 1 — adverb BEFORE main verbs with three worked examples; Rule 2 — adverb AFTER 'to be' (the most common mistake) highlighted in coral with three examples; Rule 3 — asking 'How often…?' questions with four natural answers. The reading is a magazine-style 'Honest Corner' feature with five teen confessions from Spain, Italy, Türkiye, Germany, and India, each showcasing different frequency adverbs in context. Practice includes 8 multiple-choice exercises focusing on correct adverb placement (with 'to be' traps), a partner interview task with model dialogue, a 70–90 word weekly-habits writing task with 4-item checklist, and an 8-question quiz with position traps, frequency-matching, and reading-comprehension questions.
