Questions & Answers about Casi nunca vamos a la playa.
Does nunca always go at the beginning of the sentence?
It can go before or after the verb. When a negative word like nunca goes before the verb, as in casi nunca vamos, you don't need any other negative words. However, if you move it after the verb, Spanish requires a "double negative" by putting no before the verb: No vamos casi nunca a la playa. Both versions mean the exact same thing!
What does casi do in this sentence?
Casi means "almost." You can put it directly in front of frequency adverbs to adjust how often something happens. Casi nunca means "almost never," and you will also frequently hear casi siempre to mean "almost always."
Where is the word for "we"?
I remember learning the word al for "to the." Why does this sentence use a la?
