POSITION OF ADVERBS

WHAT´S AN ADVERB?
An ADVERB is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very
tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had
brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the
same as their adjective counterparts.
Tom long boat did not run bad. bad+ly= badly easy easily fast+ly fastly
Tom is very tall.
The race finished too quickly.
Fortunately, Lucy recorded Tom’s win.

It’s easy to identify adverbs in these sentences.

POSITION OF AN ADVERB IN A SENTENCE

ADVERB OF MANNER
(e.g.: slowly, carefully, awfully)
These adverbs are put behind the direct object (or behind the verb if there's no direct object).

subject verb(s) direct object adverb

He drove the car carefully.

He drove   carefully.

Exercise on adverbs of manner

ADVERBS OF PLACE
(e.g.: here, there, behind, above) over there
Like adverbs of manner, these adverbs are put behind the direct object or the verb.

subject verb(s) direct object adverb

I didn't see him here.

He stayed   behind.

Exercise on adverbs of place

ADVERBS OF TIME
(e.g.: recently, now, then, yesterday)
Adverbs of time are usually put at the end of the sentence.

indirect
subject verb(s) direct object time
object

I will tell you the story tomorrow.

If you don't want to put emphasis on the time, you can also put the adverb of time at the beginning
of the sentence.

verb(s
time subject indirect object direct object
)

Tomorrow I will tell you the story.

Exercise on adverbs of time

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY
(e.g.: always, never, seldom, usually) hardly ever
Adverbs of frequency are put directly before the main verb. If 'be' is the main verb and there is no
auxiliary verb, adverbs of frequency are put behind 'be'. Is there an auxiliary verb, however,
adverbs of frequency are put before 'be'.

subject auxiliary/be adverb main verb object, place or time

I   often go swimming in the evenings.

He doesn't always play tennis.

We are usually   here in summer.

I have never been abroad.
