In a main clause, adverbs like alltid, ofte, aldri and sjelden go straight after the conjugated verb: jeg går aldri. Counted frequency uses én gang, to ganger plus i: én gang i uka, to ganger i måneden, and that phrase goes at the end.
Examples
- Jeg går aldri på treningssenteret.
- I never go to the gym.
- Vi møtes to ganger i måneden.
- We meet twice a month.
- Hun spiser nesten alltid frokost hjemme.
- She almost always eats breakfast at home.
The mistake to avoid
Norwegian uses one negative only: jeg går aldri, not "jeg går ikke aldri".
Where this fits in
Daily routines & habits, Norwegian A2: Talk about what you do every day, at what time, and how often. Reflexive verbs with 'seg' and frequency adverbs.
