Adverbs are used to describe a verb, an adjective, or another adverb:

Form:

Many adverbs are formed by adding –ly to an adjective

Example:

3.- Grammar – Position of adverbs

In this lesson we are going to look at the position of 4 different types of adverbs:

1. Adverbs of Manner
2. Adverbs of Place
3. Adverbs of Time
4. Adverbs of Frequency

.

Adverbs of Manner

• Quickly, slowly, carefully, softly, etc.

These adverbs are put after the direct object (or after the verb if there's no direct object):

Subject + Verb + Direct Object + Adverb

Examples:

I eat the apple quickly
I eat quickly

.

Adverbs of Place

• Here, there, behind, etc

These adverbs are put after the direct object or the verb (or after the verb if there’s no direct object).

Subject + Verb + Direct Object + Adverb

Examples:

He saw the dog there
He stayed there

.

Adverbs of Time

• Now, yesterday, tomorrow, etc.

Adverbs of time are usually put at the end of the sentence or at the beginning of the sentence.

Time + Subject + Verb Direct + Object Time

Examples:

I went to hospital yesterday
Yesterday I went to hospital

 

.
Adverbs of Frequency

• Sometimes, often, never, etc.

Adverbs of frequency are put before the main verb. If 'be' is the main verb and there is no auxiliary verb, adverbs of frequency are put after 'be'.

Subject + Auxiliary / be + Adverb + Main Verb + Object, Place or Time

Examples:

They sometimes go to the park on Saturdays
He doesn’t often play football
She is never at home
I have always been to Spain
