Grammar Script: Frequency Adverbs

Argument

Parent:
You never clean your room!

Teen:
That's not true.  I sometimes clean it before I go to bed.

Parent:
You always throw your socks under the bed.

Teen:
Yes, that's true.  I throw them at the cat.  He sometimes likes to play with them.

Parent:
You never return your library books on time.

Teen:
I usually do.  But why do you always complain about me?  I am a teenager.  Sometimes I do things. Sometimes, I don't.

Parent:
I often complain, but you know, I always love you anyway.

Teen:
Occasionally I enjoy being tidy, but actually, I generally enjoy the mess in my room.

Parent:
And you won't always be a teenager!
(They both laugh)
