The whole day in the present simple, from getting up to going to bed, with the adverbs of frequency English puts in an awkward place. Beginner speaking practice that converts straight into pair work.

A daily routine is the whole present simple in one topic: get up, wash, get dressed, have breakfast, leave, arrive, come home, do homework, go to bed, held together with times and sequence words. Everyone has a routine, so nobody has to invent anything.

The rule to watch is the position of frequency adverbs. They go before the main verb but after the verb to be: I usually get up early, but I am usually tired. Once that is right, the same sentences flip straight into questions – what time do you get up? – and the class works in pairs without any further preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I describe my daily routine in English?

In the present simple, with times and sequence words: I get up at seven, then I have breakfast, after that I go to school. The verbs are a fixed set – get up, wash, get dressed, have breakfast, leave, arrive, come home, do homework, go to bed.

Which adverbs of frequency do I need?

Always, usually, often, sometimes, hardly ever and never. In English they go before the main verb but after the verb to be: I usually get up early, but I am usually tired. That small rule is what most routine descriptions get wrong.

Why is this topic taught so early?

Because it gives beginners a whole conversation from one tense. Everyone has a routine, the vocabulary is concrete, and the same sentences convert straight into questions – what time do you get up, when do you have lunch – so pair work needs no preparation.
