I'm Craig. This is Reza. If you are a new listener, If this is your first time here, welcome! We are going to help you improve your English, grow your grammar, vocalize your vocabulary and perfect your pronunciation! In this episode: Adverbs of frequency and strong collocations Listener Feedback: Hello my friends, I am from Argentina and, of course, you are my friends because you travel in my car every day when I go to my work, 15 minutes each time (each way / there and back)), 4 times a day. I really like you and I enjoy your podcasts. I listen (TO) them again and again. I have got them in my mp3 player and I laugh with your laughings (with your laughter/I laugh when you laugh/I laugh aloud with you). I am trying to listen and listen because it is very difficult to me to understand conversations, I read English good enough (quite well/well enough) and my interest is for traveling to other countries. Please correct this and I send a big hug to both of you. A question from Pau (the question king!) You look very much happier today, David! (is it correct?), I am telling you that (asking you this) because I have found that it is possible to use "very much" with the comparative, but I don't see the particle "than" anywhere, so I'm a bit confused...

This is also true if there is an auxiliary verb: "I have often thought of emigrating." - He pensado muchas veces en emigrar. But, we put adverbs of frequency AFTER the verb TO BE: (después del verbo "to be"): "Reza is never late" - Reza nunca llega tarde. (Reza is occasionally late - occasionally = ocasionalmente) Sometimes, adverbs of frequency can be put at the beginning or at the end (en posición final o inicial): "Normally, I get up at 8." - "I get up at 8, normally." Expressions of frequency: una vez a la semana - once a week dos veces al día - twice a day tres o cuatro veces al mes - three or four times a month todos los viernes - every Friday cada dos horas - every two hours todos los días - every day How often do you..... go back to Belfast? - 3 or 4 times a year How often do you visit your family in Moraira? - about twice a month / every 2 weeks have a fried English breakfast? - I hardly ever have on these days drink Guinness? - I often drink Guinness when I'm in Ireland, but I almost never drink Guinness when I'm in Spain speak Valencian? - rarely, 3 times a year Watch football - very rarely go to bed before 11pm - not often, about once a week wear socks with sandles - now, never! swear (decir palabrotas, soltar tacos) - once or twice a day record a podcast - about once a fortnight, once overy 2 or 3 weeks get your haircut - about once every 2 or 3 months Vocabulary: Strong collocations Sometimes in English you might come across two words joined together with "and". The order of these words is a very strong collocation and it's usually fixed. For example, fish and chips (no se dice Xchips and fishX). Here are some more examples: neat and tidy pros and cons (advantages and disadvantages) gin and tonic rock and roll trial and error peace and quiet toast and marmalade stocks and shares black and white thunder and lightening Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls life and death right and wrong black and blue thick and thin in sickness and in health for better and for worse Craig and Reza's Weekly wind-ups (to wind up = annoy, irritate, bother: fastidiar, disgustar, molestar) Reza: People who ask a question and then don't listen to what you say Craig: The number of messages, alerts or "things you have to deal with" on apps - Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, always that small number, in a circle, on your phone (more than your PC) it signifies "there's something I haven't done."
