The pattern
"How often do you" plus a verb asks about frequency: how many times, how regularly. "How often do you work out?" The answers come in a family of words worth learning together: every day, twice a week, once a month, now and then, hardly ever, never.
It is a friendly small-talk question because habits reveal personality without being personal. It is also a practical one: "How often does the bus come?" is what you ask at a stop in a new city.
