Adverbs of Frequency
Some adverbs tell us how often something is done.
You can see more
about adverbs of frequency in the grammar section.
The Present Simple - "Do I?"

Do | I/we/you/ they | have something? | do something? | like something? | want something? |
Does | he/she/it | have something? | do something? | like something? | want something? |
