Words, such as “always,” “never,” and “sometimes,” refer to certain activities. These are known as frequency
adverbs. They describe how frequently something occurs. They help describe habits. Additional examples of
similar adverbs are as follows:

I go to the mall daily.
I sometimes go to the mall.

A sking for Directions
How do you prepare for traveling to a new location? You ask someone or consult Google Maps. When asking
someone, be nice. Begin by saying ‘excuse me’ or greeting them.

As shown in the list below, specify your destination (e.g., Central School, Aya Nagar, Railway Station, Laxmi
Nagar Post Office, Admission Office within a building) when asking for directions.

Excuse me, can you please tell me the way to the Central Bank?
Excuse me, which way is the Sector 12, Metro Station?
Excuse me, do you know the way to the National Museum?

Can you tell me the directions for reaching your home from the Model Town?
Typically, the other person will specify the direction, distance, and locations for taking turns. If someone asks
for instructions, follow the same procedure. Check your understanding of the directions by repeating them.
Before departing, remember to express gratitude to those who helped you.

Directions using Landmarks
When giving directions, it's helpful to include well-known sights such as bus stops, lakes, bridges, large
workplaces, and schools. To provide instructions based on well-known locations, we employ 'prepositions'.
(Tip: Prepositions indicate position). In this session, we will focus on using position terms to indicate time, rather
than other prepositions. Some of these words include—on, near to, opposite, and in front of.
