Lesson 71: Daily Habits

At B1 you can say not just what you do, but how often. Frequency adverbs — always, usually, sometimes, never — turn simple sentences into real description.

Morning routines

Grammar: frequency adverbs

These words tell you how often something happens. They usually sit right before the verb:

Hebrew	Romanization	English
תָּמִיד	tamid	always
בְּדֶרֶךְ כְּלָל	bederech klal	usually
לִפְעָמִים	lif’amim	sometimes
אַף פַּעַם לֹא	af pa’am lo	never

Note that “never” is built from אַף פַּעַם (af pa’am, “ever”) plus לֹא (lo, “not”) — Hebrew uses this double form: אֲנִי אַף פַּעַם לֹא שׁוֹתֶה (ani af pa’am lo shote, “I never drink”).

Tip: מִדַּי (miday, “too”) and בְּלִי (bli, “without”) are small but hugely useful: ayef miday (“too tired”), bli kafe (“without coffee”).
