What does oft mean?
Oft is a poetic way of saying "often."
Can you have two adverbs in a row?
Yes, it is okay and surprisingly oft used, as in this sentence: (or the one I just used :P)I love him so much.
How many time did jesus say forgive?
From the King James versionMat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
How many times in the Bible did Jesus tell us to forgive?
From Matthew 18:21-22: Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. So we should forgive 490 times. On the other hand, maybe this is meant figuratively, as "many, many times".
Why did Jesus ask peter to forgive his brother 77 times?
In the King James version it is not 77 times but 490 timesMat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.This is done as an emphasis - Peter suggests "seven", but Jesus counters that this is far too few, and grossly exaggerates it for emphatic effect.

Diana Loos It is by Alexander Pope, comes from An Essay on Criticism and refers to wit. It is a misquotation!!! Here the whole context in the correct form: True wit is nature to advantage dressed, What oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed.

Is there a 1 syllable word for often?
Yes, the word 'oft', but it is an archaic word or only used in 'literary' works.e.g."Oft expectation fails, and most oft thereWhere most it promises; and oft it hitsWhere hope is coldest, and despair most fits."[Shakespeare: All's Well That Ends Well, Scene II, Act I. Words spoken by Helena.]

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. & 5. & 6. She said: "I oft (sic.) get an 'A' in English classes because we oft read Shakespear." (from my story, "Mr. Pepper's Pulpit"(c) Mr. Pepper is a street-person turned self-appointed humanity savior known for his comidic edge. Here, he is addressing a heckler.) "Well thank you for the commentary, Ms. Peanut Gallery, but I will use 'oft' as often as I wish even if it tho's you oft-kilter."
