Expressing Regular Activities

• Understanding how to express "every" is crucial for describing regular schedules and activities. This involves using the construction: may + measure word + noun.

• Example provided: "May go sincerely Oh" translates to "Do you work every Saturday?" emphasizing the need for clarity in regularity.

Emphasizing Frequency

• The term "toh" can be used for emphasis, as seen in examples like “do you work every single Saturday?” which adds intensity to the question.

• For annual activities, "Manian" serves as a measure word without needing an additional noun, illustrated by “Sam goes to China every year.”

Daily Routines
