ABSTRACT
This chapter describes some of the common frequency expressions in Japanese, which are useful in such situations. The simplest way to convey information about how frequently something happens is to use a frequency adverb. The chapter examines some adverbs that are used to express differing degrees of frequency. It explores the frequency by indicating the number of occurrences within a given time frame. This is typically used for recurring events. The specified period of time is followed by the particle ni. The number of occurrences is often expressed with the counter -do time or -kai time, but other counters are also used. Grammar points are followed by contextualized examples and exercises which allow students to reinforce and consolidate their learning.
