With a partner, and using the list of common -ar verbs take turns asking each other how often you do different activities.
Note about nunca:
ejemplos:
Nunca dibujo.
No dibujo nunca.
You can put ¨nunca¨ either before or after the verb. If you put it after, you have to put ¨no¨ before the verb. This is called a double negative
and is considered incorrect in some dialects of English. However, it is correct in Spanish.
