         FREQUENCY EXPRESSIONS
         •  To talk about frequency we often use expressions with every, once,           TIPS• To ask about frequency, we use How often ... ?:
            twice, three times, etc.: every Saturday, once a month, twice a day,         How often do you go running?
            three times a week, etc.                                                     • For plural numbers of days, weeks, etc.,  we use once,
         •  We usually put frequency expressions at the end of the sentence or           twice, etc. +every: I go once every three months.
            clause: The British spend about £48 million on tea every month.              • a couple of weeks = two weeks
