Sometimes, as in example (f) above, we use these adverbs to talk about the future, especially always and never. a) Use never when something is done 0% of the time.b) Rarely means not very often, so it could be between 1% and 20% of the time. c) Sometimes might mean 20% of the time, or 80% of the time - it is not so clear! d) Often means many times, so it could be around 50% or more of the time. e) Always should be 100% of the time, but sometimes we use it to mean "too much" when we are a little bit angry - "You're always asking me for money. Stop it!"
