How do you use the word 'oft' in a sentence?
Well they are considered interchangeable if used properly as an adverb in the first place. Here's a few guidelines (not rules) that I use when choosing the best fitting form:
- Use any form when it applies to a situation/occurence or an inanimate object.
- Do not use "oft" when regarding a person, group, class of people or peoples.
- If you combine "oft" with another word, use a hyphen. (ex. oft-times).
- When quoting it is NOT interchangeable so if unsure what form was used: indicate it. 5 Never end a sentence with "oft". Best practice: choose "often" rather thatn "oft" and use it earlier in the course of the sentence.
- Use "oft" when you want to show the world that you've read Shakespear. :-)
- Use any of the forms however the hell you want if you are creating character dialog and it is in the manner in which you feel that character would use it in speaking.
Examples:
- Where I live it is oft blustery. Where I live it is often blustery.
- NO: I oft wonder when he'll get a haircut. YES: I often wonder when he'll get a haircut. 3.a That entire train system is oft-times 10 minutes late. 3.b That entire familiy is often-times 10 minutes late.
