Adverbs are one-word items that modify verbs. Adverbialsmay be single words or else phrases that provide information about when, where, how, or why things happen. So adverbs fall into the category of adverbials. The difficulties around them have to do with where we should place adverbs. Adverbs and the wider category of adverbials belong to the predicate, and there they may be placed next to the verb or after the object (at the end (). But they may be found at the beginning of a sentence (, provided they do not separate the subject from the verb. A general idea which may be useful is this: elements in a sentence organize around the heart of the sentence, S + V, in a hierarchical manner: the more important they are, the closer they are to the heart. For instance, an object (O) is more important than an adverbial of time because it is closer to the verb, so the adverbial of time can never interfere between the V and its O, and must be placed after. (Of course, adverbs are sometimes very close to the verb, see the case of Frequency Adverbs.) Another general idea is: when an element that usually comes before another is long, the shorter element may come before. But you neednt think about this because youll probably do it intuitively. Do you go out with your friends EVERY WEEKEND? Do you go out EVERY WEEKEND with all of those really noisy friends of yours?! 1. Manner: How? ( Adverbs and adverbials of manner go after the verb or the object, if there is one. They are not placed between V and O. They worked HARD ( She danced BEAUTIFULLY ( They did it VERY WELL ( They worked IN A GREAT RUSH ( They did it WITH A GREAT DEAL OF NOISE ( The exception is when the object is long: When V + prep + O, the adverb could be placed before the preposition if the object is long. The little children looked at everyone SUSPICIOUSLY ( The little children looked SUSPICIOUSLY at everyone who gave out sweets When V + O, the adverb could be placed before the verb if the object is long. They CAREFULLY picked up all the bits of broken glass Adverbs concerned with character and intelligence, like foolishly, kindly, generously, stupidly, etc., may take two positions, but meaning changes: He answered the questions FOOLISHLY ( = He answered in a foolish manner, his answers were foolish He FOOLISHLY answered the questions = His action was foolish, it was foolish of him to answer at all He spoke KINDLY ( = His words were kind He KINDLY waited for us = It was kind of him to wait for us WELL can be an adverb of manner or of degree. He reads WELL (manner) They speak English WELL (manner) They treated me WELL (manner) She knows the town WELL (degree) Shake it well before opening it (degree) The presents were well wrapped up (degree) BADLY as an adverb of manner goes also at the end. But as an adverb of degree, it can precede the verb. The door needs a coat of paint BADLY The door BADLY needs a coat of paint I need a drink BADLY I BADLY need a drink Note: The difference between manner and degree depends BASICALLY on what you want to mean. Its unimportant. 2. Place: Where? ( Place adverbials are usually placed in end position. They lived HERE ( They found the dog OUT IN THE WOODS ( Did you see my keys ANYWHERE? ( However, in descriptive writing and reports, we can move them to the front, to introduce the theme or to highlight where something happened. ( AT THE MEETING we distributed this years Office Reports Notice: if the verb following is BE, S-V inversion occurs. ( NEXT TO MARY was Joe, laughing his head off (like there be: Next to Mary there was a man) Be careful: ( IN THE GARDEN people were preparing the party This also happens in descriptive writing with intransitive verbs indicating position or movement to a position, like hang, lie, live, sit, stand; come, fly, go, march, roll, run, swim, walk. ( BEYOND THE HOUSE lay an open field But we dont do this if the intransitive verb is followed by a manner adverb (or with trans. Verbs, V+O): ( ABOVE HIS HEAD the sword hung MENACINGLY (( IN THE GARDEN Mary built a tree house) 3. Time: When? ( (() We know that TIME ADVERBIALS are placed at the beginning or at the end of the sentence. ( AFTERWARDS we bumped into Muriel ( EVENTUALLY we found the station thank god! ( LATELY I have had the strangest feeling (Stevie Wonder) The weather will be much cooler TOMORROW ( You must have handed in your exercises BY NOVEMBER 1 ( Weve been dreaming about it FOR YEARS ( Notice what happens when you move the time adverbial to the beginning in the last two examples. ( But this is not always so, of course! Look at these adverbs of time, which are placed in mid-position: JUST is placed before the main verb with perfect tenses when we want to express: acabar de + hacer algo. Ive JUST finished. We had JUST finished when the teacher asked someone out. STILL is placed before the verb, like frequency adverbs. Are you STILL doing your exercise? Yes, I am STILL doing it! Exception: I am still here (if the main verb is BE). Notice: are, am in the first examples are auxiliary verbs and notice am in the former example is a main verb. YET can only be placed at the end: I havent finished my exercise YET. Arent you ready YET? The adverbs DAILY, HOURLY, MONTHLY, WEEKLY go in end position (as if they were manner adverbs!) The web page is updated WEEKLY ORDER: MANNER + PLACE + TIME (often, TIME --SUBJECT+VERB--- MANNER + PLACE) 4. Frequency: How often? (  One-word FREQUENCY ADVERBS are USUALLY placed before the main verb (except if it is BE!): We USUALLY go out on Saturdays I have NEVER seen a UFO Are you ALWAYS shouting?! Exception, the modals used to and have to. We HARDLY EVER have to remind them of bringing their books And when we give short answers. Then the frequency adverb goes before the auxiliary: Can you park well here (manner + place)? Yes, I USUALLY can. If there are two auxiliaries before the main verb, then they are placed after the first auxiliary: You have OFTEN been told not to do that. When we have adverbial expressions expressing frequency, such as once a week, twice a month, three times a year, every other day, on Mondays, every month, each single day we have to treat them as if they were adverbials of time, and place them at the beginning or at the end. We OFTEN drive to the seaside TWICE A YEAR ( ( ON MONDAYS she goes to the gym She goes to the gym ON MONDAYS ( OCCASIONALLY, you will find frequency adverbs at the beginning of the sentence, as in this sentence! ( SOMETIMES I have to be up at eight When this happens, if the frequency is indefinite and the verb has a negative meaning, like HARDLY EVER, NEVER, RARELY, SELDOM, NOT ONCE then a S-V inversion is necessary: ( NEVER have I seen such a beautiful baby! NOT ONCE did she say she was sorry 5.
