For this tutorial, we will be making use of the frequency adverbs that I posted earlier. If you have not looked them over, I suggest you do so now.

Frequency adverbs help you better describe how often you do something, be it every day, not at all, or somewhere in between c:

わたしはときどきウォルマートにいきます。
Watashi wa tokidoki worumaato ni ikimasu.
I sometimes go to Walmart.

わたしはよくしゅくだいをします。
Watashi wa yoku shukudai wo shimasu.
I often do homework.

わたしはまいにちパンをたべます。
Watashi wa mainichi pan wo tabemasu.
I eat bread every day.

You do not need a particle after a frequency adverb.

To describe how infrequent you do something, you would use 'zenzen' (not at all) or 'amari' (not much) along with negating the sentence.

わたしはあまりテニスをしません。
Watashi wa amari tenisu wo shimasen.
I don't play tennis often/much.

わたしはぜんぜんトマトをたべません。
Watashi wa zenzen tomato wo tabemasen.
I don't eat tomatoes (at all).

「わたしはときどきウォルマートにいきます。」いいですか?
「に」 -> 「へ」?
「わたしはときどきウォルマート へ いきます。」?
