Become an expert on adverb positions! Adverb positions When using ‘adverbs’, it is important to place them in the correct position. This can often cause confusion, as the position of the adverb may vary depending on the information it expresses! Generally speaking, there are three main positions that adverbs can occupy in a sentence: the front position, the middle position and the end position. Let’s have a look at the most common types of adverbs and the positions where they belong! ‘Adverbs of manner’ usually go right before or after the verb. These adverbs specify the manner in which something is done: The artist quickly dismantled the exhibit when the museum closed down. The artist dismantled the exhibit quickly when the museum closed down. They quietly walked into the art gallery. They walked into the art gallery quietly. They carefully applied another layer of varnish. They applied another layer of varnish carefully. Other examples of ‘adverbs of manner’ include slowly, eagerly, cautiously, excitedly, kindly, softly, beautifully, politely, cleverly and willingly. ‘Comment adverbs’ usually occupy the front position and refer to the whole sentence. They provide extra commentary on a situation, represented by the sentence coming afterwards: Fortunately, the paintings were sold fairly quickly. Apparently, the sculptures were forgeries. What a disappointment! Interestingly, she worked as a designer before becoming a painter. Other examples of ‘comment adverbs’ include actually, certainly, honestly, unfortunately, curiously, undoubtedly, frankly, presumably, sadly and basically. ‘Adverbs of time’ and ‘place’ usually go in the end position. They provide additional information regarding the time and/or place of an action: The art exhibition will come to an end tomorrow. We need to come up with a new creative writing project before next month. You will not be able to open the gallery until July 3rd. If you are looking for brushes, you will find some over there. They hung the new paintings in the living room. The sculptures will be displayed in a terrace by the ocean. Other examples of ‘adverbs of time’ include soon, next week, shortly, yesterday and at some point. ‘Adverbs of place’ also include nearby, somewhere, over here, there and outdoors/ indoors. ‘Non-specific adverbs of frequency’, such as normally, rarely and occasionally go in the middle of the sentence, between the subject and verb: He normally draws inspiration from pre-Raphaelite painters. We rarely visit art exhibitions. They are way too crowded. I occasionally drop by the Museum of Modern Art to see what’s new. These adverbs, however, go after the verb to be and ‘modal verbs’. Do not forget those two exceptions! They are normally impressed by our sculptures. No wonder! She can hardly ever work on her sketches. Her children make too much noise. Other ‘non-specific adverbs of frequency’ include seldom, sometimes, often, never, regularly and always. ‘Specific adverbs of frequency’ such as every day, weekly and on Fridays normally go in the end position: I try to get some sketching done every day. We visit the local art gallery weekly. It’s a lovely routine of ours. Museum tickets are considerably cheaper on Fridays. Come with us! Other ‘specific adverbs of frequency’ include daily, monthly, every year, at the weekend, on weekdays, yearly and on Christmas Day. Easy, right? Your questions should be answered by now! It is important that we remember where to place the different types of adverbs we have seen. As always, it is a matter of practise!
