This document discusses the typical positions of adverbs in sentences. It explains that adverbs are normally placed after verbs or verb phrases to describe how an action is performed. In passive sentences, adverbs typically come before the main verb. Adverbs are placed before the main verb except when the verb is "to be", in which case it follows. When expressing the speaker's opinion, adverbs often begin the sentence or come before the main verb. Adverbs of quantity like "a lot" follow the verb.
