Grammaire

Les adverbes :

En règle générale l’adverbe se place avant le verbe, s’il y a u auxiliaire on le met devant le verbe.

En position initiale : on place le point de vue de l’énonciateur suivi d’une virgule (Eg : personnaly, )

Les adverbes de fréquence seront placés en position médiane quand l’adverbe de fréquence est
approximatif et à la fin de la phrase lorsqu’il est précis.
