11
English word order is as follows: subject, verb, indirect
object, direct object, adverbial modifiers.
Most adverbs of time (yesterday, last night, etc.) go at
the end of an English sentence and follow any other
adverbs of manner or place.
Examples:
I saw Luis in school yesterday.
I saw a movie last night.
POSITIONS OF ADVERBS
12
indefinite adverbs of time such as always, seldom,
generally, usually, never, frequently, etc. go before
the main verb.
Examples: He always goes with me.
She usually comes by bus.
POSITIONS OF ADVERBS
13
If an auxiliary verb is used, the definite adverbs of time
(always, generally, etc.) go before the main verb, not
before the auxiliary verb.
Examples:
He has always cooperated with me.
She doesn’t usually go with me.
POSITIONS OF ADVERBS
14
With the verb to be, used as the main verb in the
present and past tenses, indefinite adverbs of time
follow rather than precede the verb.
Examples:
He is usually on time for the recitation.
They were frequently asked to recite.
