 Adverbs of place
1. Conjunctive adverbs
Unlike the other types of adverbs we will look at, conjunctive adverbs play
an important grammatical role in sentences. Basically, a conjunctive adverb
is an adverb that acts like a conjunction; a conjunctive adverb is used to
connect two clauses or two sentences together. For example:
 I went to the store to buy new shoes. However, the store was
already closed when I got there.
In the second sentence, the conjunctive adverb however tells us that this
sentence is related to the one immediately before it. The
adverb however acts like a conjunction by linking these two sentences
together.
We can also use conjunctive adverbs with a semicolon rather than a
period:

Tina wasn’t too confident about her answers; nevertheless, she


passed the exam easily.
Examples of conjunctive adverbs used in sentences
 Joey was playing in the sandbox. Meanwhile, his brother Noah
was sleeping in a hammock.
 Candy isn’t a healthy breakfast. Instead, you could eat fruit.
 Delilah is the most popular member of the band; therefore, her
name is always first on the posters.

2. Adverbs of frequency
A number of adverbs are used to describe the frequency of an event. By
doing so, these adverbs describe how often something happens.

Examples
 constantly, frequently, occasionally, sometimes, usually, never,
always, rarely, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
Examples of adverbs of frequency used in sentences
 I usually put butter and syrup on my pancakes.
 She never drives on icy roads.
 Sometimes, Mark gets coffee for his coworkers.
3. Adverbs of time
Some adverbs tell us when something happens. Adverbs of time include
words that refer to specific times and more general time periods.

Examples
 today, yesterday, tomorrow, tonight, soon, later, now, eventually,
forever, still, yet, early, late, recently, since
Examples of adverbs of time used in sentences
 We are going to see a movie tomorrow.
 My daughter hasn’t learned how to tie her shoes yet.
 Recently, Trevor got a job as a construction worker.
4. Adverbs of manner
Adverbs of manner tell us how something happens. A huge number of
adverbs fall under this type and many of the -ly adverbs formed
from adjectives fit into this group.
Examples
 angrily, cautiously, hungrily, nicely, slowly, deftly, precisely,
unknowingly, loudly
Examples of adverbs of manner used in sentences
 The clown skillfully made animals out of balloons.
 She bravely rescued a kitten from a tree.
 Natalie wisely took an extra umbrella with her.
5. Adverbs of degree
Generally, adverbs of degree describe the intensity of an action or quality.
These adverbs are often used as intensifiers to describe adjectives and
other adverbs.

Examples
 very, really, extremely, incredibly, too, quite, barely, deeply, fairly,
greatly, hardly, highly, intensely, somewhat, totally, little, less,
least, much, more, most
Examples of adverbs of degree used in sentences
 It is really hot in the basement.
 That book is much too expensive.
  He barely knew how to cook at all.
6. Adverbs of place
Adverbs of place tell us where something happens.
Examples
 here, there, everywhere, nowhere, somewhere, anywhere, in,
out, inside, outside, wherever, on, off, over, under, away, left,
right, north, south, east, west
Examples of adverbs of place used in sentences

Simple sentence

WHAT IS A SIMPLE SENTENCE?

A simple sentence has a subject and a verb and sometimes an

object or complement. The subject is who or what the sentence is
about. The verb and the object or complement together are often
called the predicate. A simple sentence has two parts: its subject
and its predicate.
She smiled. (subject + verb)
She looked pretty. (subject + verb + complement)
WHAT IS A COMPOUND SENTENCE?

A compound sentence has two or more simple sentences joined

together, usually with a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
She smiled, and she laughed. (Two sentences joined with a comma
+ coordinator.)
WHAT IS A COMPLEX SENTENCE?

A complex sentence is a simple sentence with subordinate clause

joined to it. A subordinate clause depends on another clause to
complete an idea, so we call subordinate clauses dependent
clauses.
She smiles when she is happy. (Independent clause + dependent
clause)
