T sends them to breakout rooms. * T presents 2 conversations on Slide 4 and nominates a Ss for each part. * T asks Ss: "Are these sentences expressing frequency?" Answer: Yes. * T explains while showing Slide 5 that "often" is known as an Adverb of Frequency. An adverb is a word that can modify a verb, an adjective or another adverb. * An adverb of frequency indicates how frequently we do things or how often things happen. * "Every" and "once" are adverbs of "Definite Frequency" (Slide 5). * On Slide 6 T explains about how to use "how often", "once a" and "every", their position in a sentence and the words that accompanies them.
* T presents Slide 7 with some sentences Ss will have to complete in an open class. 1. I enjoy eating sweets (every) day. 2. I think I drink (once a) week. 3. I sleep until late (every) weekend. 4. (How often) do you go on vacation (every) year? * T gives them 2 minutes to take notes first. * Ss answer the questions with the T while explaining why that answer was chosen. * T will make drills by nominating Ss in order for them to repeat the sentences.

Drink alcohol? Go to the doctor? * Ss will ask to each other how often do they do any of the activities from the list. They'll have 4 minutes to ask 1 question and 1 answer per person in the breakout rooms. * T asks Ss to take notes while speaking with their partner so they can discuss their answers in the OCFB. * T sends them to the breakout rooms. * Ss come back from the breakout rooms.
