    • Often】 , 【frequently】 ,  【oft】 ,  【oftentimes】  may be used with little or no distinction to mean again and again in more or less close succession.

      But  【often】  stresses the number of times a thing occurs, without regard to the interval of recurrence;  【frequently】 usually stresses repetition, especially at short intervals.

      Oft】  and  【oftentimes】  differ little from often】 ; oft】 , however, is used chiefly in compound adjectives or occasionally in formal discourse and  【oftentimes】 is occasionally preferred for intonational reasons.
