<!-- (audio) Tom: Does Maria assign tasks during these meetings?
Sophie: Sometimes, but we normally discuss tasks and responsibilities for the week. -->
# --description--
In English, words like `sometimes,` `always,` and `never` are used to describe the frequency of an action.
`Sometimes` is used when an action happens on certain occasions but not every time. For example, `I sometimes have coffee for breakfast.` It indicates possibility but not certainty.
`Always` is used when an action happens every single time without fail. For instance, `The sun always rises in the east.` It shows a consistent or habitual action.
`Never` means an action does not happen at any time. For example, `She never eats meat`, indicating a complete absence of the action.
# --instructions--
Listen to the audio, understand the context and complete this sentence with the
correct adverb of frequency.
# --fillInTheBlank--

`Maria BLANK assigns tasks during the meetings.`
## --blanks--
