Position of adverbs

Position of adverbs

An adverb is not as closely knit to the verb as the object. Therefore, an adverb cannot intervene between the verb and the object in a clause. It can, however, immediately follow a verb when it has no direct object:

She proposed the idea boldly

Not, She proposed the idea boldly.

 

An adverbial particle (away/back/in/out/on/off/up/down)  is placed between a verb and a long (heavy) object.

He put on his new shirt.

She threw away all the old letters.

He blew out all the candles.

 

If the object is short, then the adverbial particle comes after it.

He put a shirt on

He took the diary out.

She sent him back.

 

Adverb of place usually follows the verb.

They are everywhere

He is here.

She is in.

So we don’t say They searched everywhere for her.

He wasn’t anywhere found.

 

At times adverb of place can be placed at the beginning of the sentence for emphasis.

Here comes the bus.

Nowhere was the missing child to be found.

 

Adverb of time usually comes at the end of the sentence.

It may rain tonight.

She will come tomorrow.

He left this place a week ago.

 

Adverb of frequency is placed after the verb is in the simple present or simple past.

Joseph is always late.

They are never ready on time.

Raman is rarely absent.

 

Adverb of frequency is usually placed before the simple present or simple past of all other verbs.

This train always runs on time.

They often go to Bangalore by bus.

She never tells a lie.

 

Adverb of frequency comes between the helping verb and the main verb.

He has always helped the blind.

She has never disobeyed the teachers.

We haven’t ever seen a giraffe.

 

In questions, an adverb of frequency occurs after the subject.

Haven’t you ever written a poem?

 

Adverb of degree is placed before the adjective, adverb or verb they modify.

He is almost mad.

She has just left for home.

 

Multiple adverbs:  When different kinds of adverbs occur in the same sentence the order is MPT

I worked hard here yesterday. (not I worked yesterday hard here)

 

Even/only/just/merely/purely/simply –These adverbs are placed immediately before the verb or adjective or adverb they are meant to modify.

He arrived only yesterday.

She didn’t even speak to me.

I am just coming.

It is simply impossible.

I merely asked his name.

It is purely imaginary.
