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

Many adverbs are formed by adding –ly to an adjective

3.- Grammar – Position of adverbs
In this lesson we are going to look at the position of 4 different types of adverbs:
- Adverbs of Manner
- Adverbs of Place
- Adverbs of Time
- 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
