THE ADVERBIAL MODIFIER

There are different kinds of adverbial modifiers: of time, manner, place and direction, frequency, degree, cause, result, condition, comparison, purpose.

The adverbial modifiers of place, time and manner are often expressed by adverbs and nouns with prepositions.

e.g. Come to see me tomorrow. An old lady was sitting in an armchair.

 

ORDER OF ADVERBS

1. Adverbs usually go after verbs but before adjectives, other adverbs and participles.

e.g. He speaks softly. She is amazingly beautiful. He drove very fast. Computers are extensively used nowadays.

2. Adverbs of manner go before the main verb, after the auxiliary verb or at the end of the sentence.

e.g. She easily passed the exam. We are eagerly waiting for his letter. He acted foolishly.

3. Adverbs of degree (absolutely, completely, totally, extremely, very, quite, rather, etc.) go before an adjective, an adverb or a main verb, but after an auxiliary verb.

e.g. This is totally unacceptable. They arrived rather early. We absolutely love her sense of humour. I don't quite understand what you mean.

4. “Very much “ is an adverbial of degree. It has the following positions in the sentence:

a) after the direct object: I like this idea very much. I like coffee very much in the morning.

b) after the verb “to be” (before the 2nd participle): He was very much surprised to hear that.

c) before the subordinate clause: I hope very much that you will be able to do it.

5. Adverbs of frequency go after auxiliary verbs and the verb to be, but before main verbs.

e.g. He is always ready to help. Sam often complains about his salary.

6. Adverbs of place and time usually go at the end of the sentence.

e.g. There is a cafe nearby. I'll meet you tomorrow.

Some one-syllable adverbs of time such as soon, now and then, go before the main verb, but after the auxiliary verb or the verb to be.

e.g. She then told him what had happened. He will soon inform us about his decision.

7. We can put an adverb at the beginning of a sentence if we want to emphasize it.

e.g. Slowly, he closed the door behind him. (manner) In the living room, there is an antique grandfather clock. (place) Yesterday, I met the President. (time)

8. When there are two or more adverbs in the same sentence, they usually come in the following order: manner - place - time.

e.g. The baby slept quietly in his cot all night long.

If there is a verb of movement, such as go, come, leave in the sentence, then the adverbs come in the following order: place - manner - time.

e.g. He came to work by bus this morning.
