When you'd hear it
Common in everyday speech and neutral writing, including personal routines, conversations, and diary-like descriptions. The polite form 하기도 해요 is especially common in spoken Korean.
What learners get wrong
Unlike 가끔, which is a standalone adverb, -기도 하다 attaches to a verb or adjective stem. It often presents the action as one thing that occurs among other possibilities, rather than simply stating its frequency.
