Positions of
adverbs
Adverbs can be used in three positions in a sentence
or clause:
front (perhaps they’ll arrive this evening)
mid (she hardly knew him)
end (I left the bedroom and ran downstairs)
Different types of adverbs go in different positions.
Here are some general guidelines:
Front position
The main types of adverbs that can be used in this
position are those that:
begin a sentence or clause that’s linked in meaning to
another:
People tend to put on weight in middle age. However,
gaining weight is not inevitable.
I’ll begin with an overview of the product. Secondly,
I’ll talk about projected sales.
refer to time or frequency:
Afterwards, we went out for a walk.
Sometimes she wonders what life’s all about.
refer to place:
There goes my bus!
Up he ran, soon disappearing from view.
comment on the rest of the sentence or clause
(sentence adverbs):
Luckily, our meal lived up to expectation.
Clearly, more research is needed.
Mid position
This term refers to adverbs that can be used in the
middle of a sentence or clause. The main kinds of adverbs found in this
position are those that:
refer to frequency:
We always meet for coffee on Saturday.
She’s never been to Sweden.
refer to manner:
He carefully avoided my eye.
I slowly walked into town.
make the meaning of a verb, adjective, or other adverb
stronger or weaker:
She nearly fell asleep at her desk.
These ideas are very complicated.
comment on the rest of the sentence or clause:
When we first heard this story, frankly, we couldn’t
believe it.
focus on part of a sentence or clause:
I’m only going to stay in New York for a week.
Tina can’t just drop all her commitments.
End position
The main types of adverbs which can be used at the end
of a sentence of clause are those that:
refer to manner:
It's an interesting plot twist, and one that works
well.
For some reason, his career progressed slowly.
refer to time or frequency:
The troops flew home yesterday.
They’re sending hundreds of texts to each other
monthly.
refer to place:
They’re sitting at the table over there.
There was a sudden burst of laughter from the people
who could see outside.
Position of adverbs and verbs
Adverbs are often found between the subject and its
verb:
We always meet for lunch at 1 p.m.
I completely forgot his name.
They can also come between an auxiliary verb (such as
be or have) and a main verb:
The concert was suddenly cancelled.
He had quickly eaten his dinner.
