How can I use this word? (seldom)
Hi guys! Can anyone help me with the word seldom. I don't know how to use it at all. Provide some examples for me, please. I appreciate it.
"Seldom on time" - can I say so? And what does it mean?

Yes, you can say "seldom on time" Very good.
Seldom means rarely or not often.
I seldom arrive at work before 8:00 am.
I seldom watch television. I prefer to read.
Dogs seldom grow to more than 100 pounds.

"He/She is seldom on time."
...on time = punctual
...seldom on time = rarely punctual
Seldom, as an adverb, has a "negative" meaning as it indicates a "low rate of occurrence/frequency". (It's rarely used as an adjective.)
Examples:
I seldom see her studying at the library.
They seldom come here to visit me.
Hope that helps.
