### Adverbs of Frequency

To talk about how often you do things, use adverbs of frequency like **همیشه** (always), **معمولاً** (usually), and **اغلب** (often). In Farsi, these adverbs usually go near the beginning of the sentence, right after the subject.

### Saying "Never" with هرگز

To say that you *never* do something, use **هرگز**. Unlike English, **هرگز** must always be paired with a negative verb.

### Adverbs of Degree

To express to what extent you do something, use adverbs of degree like **خیلی** (very / a lot) and **کم** (little). 

These are often combined to say **خیلی کم** (very little). Adverbs of degree generally sit right before the adjective or verb they modify.
