Answer:
(frequency) 1. I have NEVER watched television this week.
(frequency) 2. I am ALWAYS happy whenever I see my idol.
(intensity) 3. He is talking VERY fast.
(frequency) 4. We OFTEN spend our summer in the beach.
(intensity) 5. She has QUITE finished baking when the oven shut down.
Explanation:
Adverbs of intensity modify adjectives or other adverbs. They normally go before the adjective or adverb which they modify. In general: quite is a little stronger than fairly; rather is stronger than quite; pretty is similar to rather, but more informal.
An adverb of frequency describes how often an action happens. There are six main adverbs of frequency that we use in English: always, usually (or normally), often, sometimes, rarely, and never.
