happening or done often
Happening many times, or again and again, often with short time between each time.
الگوی کاربرد:
frequent [noun]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes try to use 'frequent' like a noun or determiner, for example *'I have frequent of problems'* or *'I have frequent problemses'*. Use it before a noun ('frequent problems') or after 'be' ('problems are frequent'). Another mistake is to confuse 'frequent' with 'many'; 'many' goes directly before a countable noun ('many problems'), while 'frequent' describes how often something happens.

to visit a place often
To go to the same place many times.
الگوی کاربرد:
to frequent [a place]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse the verb 'frequent' with the adjective and say *'I frequent tired'* or *'I am frequent this café'*. As a verb, 'frequent' must take a place as its object: 'I frequent this café', 'She frequented that club'. It is also more formal; in everyday speech, 'go to [a place] a lot' or 'often go to [a place]' is more natural.
هممعنیها
patronize (Often used for customers who regularly use a business; can also have a negative meaning 'to talk down to someone'.)
|
visit (More general and common; does not by itself mean 'often', so usually needs an adverb like 'often' or 'regularly'.)
متضادها
avoid (Means to stay away from a place on purpose, the opposite of going there regularly.)
