SM SAA An adverb is a name given to any word that is used to modify a verb, adjective, adverb, or a whole sentence. The position of the adverb in a sentence depends on a few things that need to be discussed. Most of the positioning comes down to what type of adverb it is, which we'll discuss at more length in the next section. These adverbs let us know when something happened in the sentence. A good example is "We should meet at the weekend". The whole word "weekend" becomes the adverb here. These adverbs generally tell us how something is done. For a better term, they tell us the manner in which something is done. An example is "You ran quite slowly". The adverb is "slowly" at the end of the sentence. These adverbs go in the middle of the sentence to emphasize the meaning of the sentence. "She certainly has the looks." The adverb is "certainiy" and it stresses the importance of "her looks" in the sentence. These are used to evaluate the findings through the sentence (usually related to what was previously said). "Unfortunately, | cannot help you there." These adverbs tell us the place where something happened. An example is "/ am eating my food downstairs" where "downstairs acts as the adverb. These adverbs tell us how often something occurs within the sentence. An example would be "/ usually go to sleep at nine." The adverb is "usually" here, explaining the frequency of the schedule. These adverbs are also in the middle of the sentence and give us an approximation as to what could happen. "!II probably see you tomorrow" where "probably" is the adverb is a good example. These are used to share a view and are put at the start of a sentence. "Personally, | wouldn't do that."
