  3. How to identify an adverb 1. One-word adverbs ending in “ly” • Many adverbs, particularly those of manner, are formed from adjectives by the addition of –ly: • e.g. patient – patiently • Some adverbs of frequency are also formed in this way: • e. g usual – usually

  4. 2. One-word adverbs not ending in “ly” • Many adverbs cannot be identified by their endings. These include adverbs which have the same form as the adjectives • e.g.fast- fast; hard- hard; wrong- wrong • there(adv. of place),then(adv. of time),often(adv. of frequency)

  5. Position of adverbs in the sentence • ADVERBS OF MANNER- these answer the question how? • ! This adverb usually comes after the direct object or if there is no direct object, after the verb: • -She speaks Italian beautifully.-He works well.-You must drive your car carefully.-Eat quietly.

  6. ADVERBS OF PLACE- these answer the question where? • ! This adverb usually comes after the object, otherwise after the verb: • -We saw you there.-We were sitting here.-We looked everywhere. • ! Note: somewhere, anywhere, follow the same rules as some and any: • -Have you seen my glasses anywhere?-I'm sure I left them somewhere.-I can't find them anywhere.

  7. ADVERBS OF TIME - these answer the question when? • ! This adverb usually comes either at the very beginning of the sentence or at the end. • -Afterwards we decided to go by car. I've done that journey before. • ! Note: yet and still: yet should be placed at the end of the sentence. Still should be placed before the verb, except with the verb 'to be' when it comes after. • -We haven't started yet.-He still wears old-fashioned clothes.-She is still a student. • -Compare these two sentences: • -The train still hasn't arrived.-The train hasn't arrived yet.

  8. ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY - these answer the question how many times? • ! This adverb comes after the verb 'to be': • -She is always honest. • ! Comes before simple tenses of all other verbs: • -They sometimes spend the whole of Saturday fishing. • ! Comes after the first auxiliary in a tense consisting of more than one verb: • -I have often wondered how they did that.! Note: with 'used to' and 'have' the frequency adverb is usually placed in front: • -We always used to look forward to the school holidays.-He never has any trouble with his old car.

It always makes me feel sick”. • “Oh Ben, you’re terrible,” his grandmother said, “then I have to write the list. Where’s my handbag?” “I can’t see it anywhere, Grandma.” Ben answered helpfully. “Oh no, I left it on the kitchen table”, said Mrs Scott nervously. • “What are we going to do about it?” “I know,” Ben suggested happily. “We drive back and fetch your handbag and the shopping list.” “Good idea”, his grandma said.
