O C C A S I O N A L L Y

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase or idiom ) related to the word O C C A S I O N A L L Y (adverb)

and then

write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.( not O C C A S I O N A L L Y )

Example:

Occasionally he pays me a visit.

Me visita de vez en cuando.

Pictures would be nice.

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

This is the previous related word challenge

Well done everyone but ....

..........not many more suggestions coming I think.

Here are some that could have been used.

at times, every so often, from time to time, hardly, infrequently, irregularly, now and again, on occasion, once in a blue moon, once in a while, once or twice, periodically, seldom, sometimes, sporadically, uncommonly

New "related word" challenge is on it's way.
