Psychological tests for all occasions. How do you behave in a difficult situation? Sometimes often almost always rarely
For some reason, adverbs of time are confused with adverbs of frequency, although adverbs of time answer the question When?(When?), and adverbs of frequency answer the question How often?(How often?).
Each of you knows at least a few adverbs of frequency: always, never, often, sometimes... However, make no mistake that adverbs of frequency are limited to seven to ten words that you have learned along with time. There are many more, and that's what we'll talk about in the article.
Adverbs of frequency got their names from the word frequent ["friːkwənt] - frequent, respectively, this group of adverbs is called Adverbs of Frequency. Adverbs of frequency (or frequency) are divided into two large groups: adverbs of a certain frequency(definite frequency) and adverbs of indefinite frequency(indefinite frequency). The adverbs of both groups answer the same question: How often?
Adverbs of indefinite frequency and their place in a sentence.
So, there is a misconception that there are few adverbs of frequency. Everyone remembers such a tablet, according to which we got acquainted with the adverbs of frequency. The most common adverbs of indefinite frequency are often presented and studied in the form of a scale on which the difference between them is visualized. The frequency of performing an action is presented as a percentage:
All these adverbs belong to the category undefined frequency, since they give a general answer to the question "How often?" . When using these adverbs, the subjective opinion of each person plays a big role: for someone "often" is three times a day, and for someone else - three times a month.
Some adverbs can be strengthened with the word very (very):
There are also those that can be defined by the words fairly and quite (quite):
Among adverbs of indefinite frequency, some have negative meaning: never, hardly ever, almost never. If such adverbs are used in a sentence, then the negative particle not do not need to use. V English language it's called " one negative rule": there can be only one word with a negative meaning in a sentence:
I never give my phone number to strangers. - I never give my phone number to strangers.
They hardly ever have dinner together. They hardly ever have dinner together.
We almost never see each other. - We almost never see each other.
Adverbs that denote an indefinite frequency can be either a single word or a phrase:
again and again - again and again
at times - sometimes
every so often occasionally
every now and again from time to time, every now and then
from time to time - occasionally
now and then every now and then
constantly- constantly
repeatedly- often
continuously - continuously, all the time
continuously - constantly, continuously
It is very important to respect the word order in a sentence, as adverbs of frequency have their place. The position of the adverb depends on the type of statement (affirmation, negation, question), and on the verb. The most common place for an adverb of frequency in a sentence is: in the middle (before or after the verb). However, sometimes you can find an adverb at the beginning and at the end of a sentence. We will analyze all these cases.
V statements adverbs of frequency most often take place in the middle of a sentence, after the auxiliary verb before the semantic one. If the sentence has only one verb to be, then the adverb of frequency must come after it:
She is always happy to help us. She is always happy to help us.
He is never late for work. - He is never late for work.
If the offer contains auxiliary (am, is, are, have, has, will) or modal verb(can, may, must, should) , then the adverb of frequency is after this verb:
You must never enter this room. - You must never enter this room.
You can always call me. - You can always call me.
I will always love you. - I will always love you.
If the predicate is expressed single semantic verb, then the adverb of frequency should be placed before the verb:
I hardly ever read magazines. - I very rarely read magazines.
He often visited us. - He often visited us.
V issues adverbs of frequency also take place in the middle of a sentence, after the subject:
Do you sometimes think about your future? Do you sometimes think about your future?
Did he usually have tea for breakfast? Does he always drink tea for breakfast?
Concerning denials, then the particle not is usually placed before adverbs of frequency: always, generally, often, normally, regularly, usually:
I don't usually go to the gym. - I don't always go to the gym.
They are not always very friendly. - They are not always friendly.
In negations with adverbs sometimes and frequently , the particle not is placed after them:
My colleagues are sometimes not prepared to answer your questions. - My colleagues are sometimes not ready to answer your questions.
I am frequently not hungry in the evening. - I am often not hungry in the evenings.
Some adverbs of frequency are not used in negations at all: occasionally, almost always, nearly always.
Can adverbs of frequency stand at the end or at the beginning suggestions? Yes they can. Let's take a look at these cases.
Adverbs with a positive meaning (always, usually, often) are sometimes put at the end of the sentence:
My neighbors go out in the evening usually. - My neighbors usually go for a walk in the evening.
Does he call you often? Does he often call you?
He doesn't call me very often. - He doesn't call me very often.
Those adverbs that carry a negative meaning (rarely, seldom) can only be at the end of a sentence if they are defined by words very and only:
I visit my parents only rarely. - I rarely visit my parents.
My sister is on a diet, she eats meat very seldom. - My sister is on a diet, she rarely eats meat.
If you want to emphasize a certain fact or create a contrast effect, you can start a sentence with an adverb frequently, normally, generally, occasionally, sometimes, usually:
Sometimes I want to be alone. - Sometimes I want to be alone.
Normally it is hot in summer. - It's usually hot in summer.
The adverbs of frequency always and never are often at the beginning:
Always tell the truth. - Always tell the truth.
Never tell lies. - Never lie.
And finally, adverbs of indefinite frequency use in short answers, front auxiliary verb when they want to agree or disagree with what was said earlier:
Mary is depressed again. - Oh, she always is. - Mary is upset again. - She's always like that.
Tom speaks only about himself. Yes, he always does. - Tom only talks about himself. Yes, he always does.
They never listened to us! - No, they never did! / Yes, they always did. They didn't listen to us at all! - Yes, they didn't listen at all! / No, they were constantly listening.
Adverbs of a certain frequency and their place in a sentence.
The adverbs of this group specifically indicate, how often the action occurs. These adverbs can be expressed both as a single word and as a whole phrase. Consider the categories of adverbs of a certain frequency.
Adverbs indicating number of times in a given period of time, with words once, twice, three times, ten times. Note that once is once , two times is twice or two times . If the number of times is greater than two, only the word times should be used:
Once a week - once a week
twice a month - twice a month
three times a day - three times a day
five times a year - five times a year
Adverbs formed from words denoting periods of time that end in -ly:
Hourly - hourly
daily - daily
weekly - weekly
monthly - monthly
yearly - annually
annually - annually
Adverbs with the word every (each):
Every day - every day
every Monday - every Monday
every week - every week
every month - every month
every year - every year
Frequency indicators with the preposition ON:
On Fridays - on Fridays
on Wednesdays
on weekdays - on weekdays
Adverbs of a certain frequency usually appear at the end of a sentence:
I have my hair cut once a month. - I get a haircut once a month.
The meeting takes place every year/ annually. - The meeting takes place every year.
Sometimes, when it's important to avoid ambiguity, or you want to emphasize how often you do something, an adverb can be placed at the beginning of a sentence. Compare:
Once a week I meet with friends who work in the city centre. - Once a week I meet with friends who work in the city center.
I meet with friends who work in the city center once a week. - I meet friends who work in the city center once a week.
It is also interesting that adverbs of frequency can be idioms. For example, the expression once in a blue moon means "very rarely, almost never". Pay attention to such expressions and memorize them to decorate your speech.

What will the drawings tell?
Psychologists believe that spontaneous drawings reveal our emotions, desires, our mood. What can flowers, little men, patterns or geometric figures that you drew while talking on the phone or sitting in a boring meeting?
The words. The word circled in a box is a sign of self-affirmation and conviction that one is right, which can also mean a desire to convince everyone else of this.
A word underlined with a straight and even line indicates a firm intention to do something.
A word underlined wavy indicates your sentimentality and some indecision.
The words written in “web”, barely noticeable, speak of your doubts or that you have some assumptions, guesses.
Crossed circles. You lack constant, even communication, and it is likely that you will be able to find it. Perhaps you feel loneliness and try your best to get rid of it. If you have a loved one, then perhaps you are worried about frequent conflicts with him and you would like to somehow establish a calmer relationship with him. Most likely, you will succeed, and your connection will become strong and stable. Having endured all quarrels and insults, you will finally reach an agreement and enjoy communication with each other.
Garlands, flowers and sun. What you have drawn means that you are dreaming of tenderness, love. You have avoided this for a long time, and now you are sad. However, you do not want to show it and expect the initiative to come from him. In your heart you dream of love and understanding, but for some reason you do not want to admit it. Or maybe you just can’t express your feelings in words, that’s why flowers, the sun and garlands appeared on your leaflet. Try to overcome your shyness and talk openly about your feelings.
If you are constantly drawing flowers, then it's time to visit friends.
Little people. They are not as harmless and funny as it might seem from the very beginning. These images mean that you feel completely helpless and want to avoid responsibility. People usually draw little men at the moment when they should have said a resounding "no". Most likely, later they will regret their weakness, but now they cannot overpower themselves.
Intertwined hearts. You are an amazing person! Overwhelmed with emotions, you want to hug the whole world, but you don’t want to tell your interlocutor about your mood on the phone, for some reason you forbid yourself to be frank - this is what your drawing says. And the more hearts you draw, the stricter your words. But that's okay - in the near future you will learn to be less aloof and cold, and at the same time openly express your feelings and emotions.
Circles, spirals, wavy lines. This drawing warns that you are probably going through a mild relationship crisis. At the moment, other people's problems concern you the least, they do not interest you at all, they interfere and seem burdensome. The most important thing is you and your life. And yet, try to be imbued with what is now worrying your environment, because over time, its problems may become yours.
Chess fields they say that you are in a very unpleasant or at least difficult situation. You want clarity and simplicity, a reliable path that will get you out of trouble. If such images appear frequently, then you are most likely suffering from hidden complexes, which you need to get rid of urgently.
Grids speak of a tendency to swallow resentment. If you are drawing this image, then you are probably in an awkward position. Each determined, bold line is an attack that you hesitate to take. If at the end you circle your drawing with a thick line, then the problem is over, at least externally. And this is fraught with danger: disappointment accumulates in the soul.
honeycombs they say that you love a calm and measured life, rarely enter into conflicts and disputes. They may mean that you dream of starting a family, but are afraid to admit it even to yourself. This is a wonderful drawing. It means that in the future, relations with your lover will develop very harmoniously.
"Wallpaper Patterns". Sharp and smooth lines are combined into one whole and form a pattern that continues indefinitely. This picture means that you are very tired of your interlocutor and your life in general. You feel that you have been unfairly offended.
If you constantly think about how this could happen, nothing good will come of it. Or maybe it's not the interlocutor? Try to solve the problem in a different plane: change your place of work, environment, lifestyle, or even place of residence. You can start with nothing, for example, to do something that you have long dreamed of, but did not dare to implement. Now is the best time for this.
Geometric figures. It can be squares, triangles or circles. You are very interesting and secretive person. Clearly imagine what you want from life and from people. In the near future, due to your inability to be flexible and plastic in communication, you will have a conflict. You never hide your thoughts and your opinions.
The more angular your figures, the more resolute and aggressive you are, although according to your appearance never say that. You rarely compromise in dealing with people. Your aggression and determination only interfere with you - they fetter your imagination and do not allow you to completely relax. Restrain yourself and beware of offending a loved one with your ardor. You need to look at things more simply.
Crosses occur quite frequently. Women give them the appearance of jewelry, men have more strict outlines. In both cases, the crosses express a sense of guilt that most likely arose during telephone conversation. Something weighs on you: either you reproach yourself, or the interlocutor reproached you. We must try to find the truth.
regular pentagon- a symbol of well-being and health. Your life is quite adjusted, and strive to fix it all. After all, it is important for you to feel that you are firmly on your feet.
Regular hexagon means beauty and harmony. If you draw it, then you want to achieve true balance in life.
draw a house
Psychologists around the world often use this test to determine the temperament and character of a person. The test is constantly being finalized, expanded with new analyzing elements.
A person is offered to draw what appears in his imagination at the word "house". During testing, not a single question is asked, since the elements of the drawing themselves help to reveal the most expressive features of the psychological portrait of the person being tested.
So, let's pick up a pencil and draw a house.
Test results
What did you draw?
Standard urban high-rise building. Such a drawing betrays the features of a dry, withdrawn person who prefers to focus on his own problems without discussing them with other people. In judgments, he is often categorical.
A squat little house. The drawing, which shows a house with a very low roof, suggests that in Lately a person experiences a feeling of fatigue, fatigue from everyday worries. He probably often comes to mind episodes from past years, but most often in his memories he does not find anything that would distract him from dissatisfaction with today.
Good rural house. This picture speaks of dissatisfaction living conditions. If the person who painted such a house is lonely, then most likely he is overcome by an urgent need to start a family.
If a strong fence is drawn near the house, then this detail hints at the isolation of a person.
If a flower bed is depicted near the house or trees are painted, then such a person is very trusting. The lower the fence, the more the author of the drawing has a craving for communication with people.
Medieval castle, as a rule, depicts a person who has something childish, frivolous, frivolous in his character. At the same time, he undoubtedly has a bright and very developed imagination. He is sentimental. He often complains about the lack of time, especially when on duty.
Windows, pipes, doors. The more windows a person has painted, the more open, friendly, and hospitable he is.
Small windows speak of secrecy, barred windows - of all kinds of complexes, greed.
If shutters are drawn, then one might think that it is difficult for such a person to find mutual language make friends with people.
Doors located in the middle of the facade are a sure sign that a person is friendly and hospitable.
The porch shows that he is generous and confident. Sociability is proved by an open door, and isolation is indicated, on the contrary, by a closed door.
The entrance to the house, located on the side, indicates a lack of sociability. Such a person often suffers from the fact that it is difficult to make contact.
A door resembling a gate in its size indicates unpredictability in actions, frivolity adjacent to generosity.
The higher the chimney painted on the house, the more purposeful the person is.
A pipe with smoke indicates generosity and the ability to empathize. Such a pipe also indicates that a person’s emotions are somewhat dulled and do not have a bright color, since he had to experience a number of disappointments in life.
A house without a chimney indicates a person's insensitivity or severe mental depression.
When a chimney is drawn with special care, brick by brick, with fine details, this indicates optimism in life.
The path near the house or the sidewalk say that a person knows what he wants from life.
A drawing that will help you learn a lot about yourself
You only have five minutes to complete this test. Take a clean, white sheet of paper and draw a square on it. In this square, you must draw a whole picture consisting of the following elements: a tree, the sun, a pond, a house, a fence, a snake. (This test can be done together, for example, with a friend. It's even more fun!) Have you drawn? Now let's see the test results.
Test results
Tree(symbolizes your independence).
large branched tree indicates an outstanding personality, capable of completely subjugating others. Sometimes the actions of such a person are selfish, so he can suppress and even repel those who are close to him.
If round tree, something that does not really exist, then such a person should always rely only on his own strength.
A tree with clear bare branches directed upwards, speaks of clear thoughts and clear goals. Such a person knows what he wants to achieve in life, and belongs to the type of independent individuals.
Tree with drooping branches indicates a pessimistic nature, prone to depression. Such a person should be open and ready to accept help from others in solving important problems.
blooming fruit tree usually drawn by a person who is interesting to many. His main character traits are self-confidence and calmness. Strong, flowering branches speak of great optimism, and many consider such a person to be the soul of the company!
The sun(reveals your relationship with your father).
big round sun means that a strong relationship has been established with the father, based on understanding and love.
bright little sun says that there is a significant distance between you and your father, which for some reason he himself created.
Only half the sun usually drawn by a person who does not have a father. Maybe he left the family during the divorce of his parents or, unfortunately, died, and relations with him could not be established. In such a situation, the main thing is not to succumb to sadness!
Pond(talks about your relationship with your mother).
The pond is drawn in front of the tree, it means that a person is completely dependent on the mother and her opinion. But don't worry! This is absolutely normal! Many people tend to turn to the help and advice of their beloved mother at a difficult moment.
Is the pond far behind a tree in the distance and looks very small? Then your mother plays a secondary role in your life, you are not particularly close to her. There is no trust or frankness between you. Maybe you just need to sit down one day and have a heart to heart talk?
House(talks about your attitude to luxury and material goods).
Big beautiful house says that a person prefers material goods to all others. Money is important to him. And if curtains, armchairs and so on are painted in the house, then he simply cannot live without comfort and luxury.
House with an unusual design. The drawing of the house is made with the smallest details - such as the garage, porch, blinds, etc., which means that the desire for a beautiful, modern and comfortable environment is great.
Fairytale castle indicates a romantic nature, living in unrealizable fantasies and not seeing anything around.
Just a house with a roof and walls draws a man who does not like anything superfluous. He prioritizes convenience over luxury; appreciates comfort and peace.
Fence(talks about self-esteem).
Fence of the correct form draws a very independent person. He is ready to break with those who do not agree with him.
half fence indicates that a person has some kind of secret, hides something from strangers.
A fence surrounds a tree - such a picture speaks of a rather emotional, unpredictable nature.
Fence between tree and house indicates that a person prefers loneliness and locks his feelings to the castle, and keeps others at some distance from him.
Snake(your sensibility).
A snake painted under or next to a tree speaks of a very sensual nature. This person is just a storm of emotions and an ocean of unrest! He can be happy only when serious passions boil around him. Better love! In all likelihood, he can easily part with a bored person.
Large painted snake depicts a person who attaches great importance to love relationships. Perhaps there are some obstacles that do not allow this sensual nature to open up. For him there are no barriers in sexual fantasies, but he is always ready to learn something new.
A snake painted behind a fence or behind a house, means that a person is fed up with casual acquaintances and incomprehensible meetings.
