    Example \(\PageIndex{1}\)

    ¿Con qué frecuencia bailas?

    Yo bailo mucho.

    Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
    • What do you think the above question is asking?
    • Do you see any words that remind you of English words?
    Answer

    literally - With what frequency do you dance?

    In other words… How often do you dance?

    Vocabulario

    Do you know any frecuency words in Spanish?

    Here are a few:

    siempre always
    a veces sometimes
    de vez en cuando once in a while
    nunca never
    casi nunca almost never
    todos los días everyday
    cada dos días every other day
    Actividad comunicativa 2 - ¿Con qué frecuencia...?

    With a partner, and using the list of common -ar verbs take turns asking each other how often you do different activities.

    Thinking about the grammar

    Note about nunca:

    ejemplos:

    Nunca dibujo.

    No dibujo nunca.

    You can put ¨nunca¨ either before or after the verb. If you put it after, you have to put ¨no¨ before the verb. This is called a double negative

    and is considered incorrect in some dialects of English. However, it is correct in Spanish

    A: ¿Con qué frecuencia dibujas?

    B: No dibujo casi nunca.

    A: ¿Con qué frecuencia cantas en el carro?

    B: Canto de vez en cuando en el carro.
