Adverb of frequency = kitni baar wala word: always, usually, often, sometimes, never. Sentence me jagah bhi yaad rakho. Simple present (topic 07) ke saath. in / on / at time = topic 26.

1. Kya hai

Yeh words aadat me kitni baar batate hain — 100% se 0%.

usually aksar / zyadatar She usually cooks rice.
often kaafi baar We often play cricket.

Sawal: How often do you cook? how ka poora set nahi — sirf How often.

2. Jagah (sentence me kahan)

Yeh jagah yaad rakho. Hindi "hamesha" kahin bhi aa sakta hai; English me jagah fixed.
