TUGAS : How many are adverbs? Explain each of it !
There are several types
of adverb:
- Manner
- Place
- Time
- Frequency
- Degree
There are different
places where you can put the adverb.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I can sometimes go without food for days.
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.
ADVERBS OF DEGREE -
these answer the question to what extent?
This adverb can modify
an adverb or an adjective and comes before the word it modifies:
The bottle is almost full, nearly empty.
They should be able to pass their exams quite easily.
The following adverbs
of degree can also modify verbs:
almost, nearly, quite, hardly, scarcely, barely, just
They follow the same
pattern as frequency adverbs in terms of where they are placed:
I quite understand.
We had almost reached the hut when the rain started.
I am just beginning a new course.
INVERSION
If you begin a sentence
with one of the following, the normal word order changes - the verb comes first
followed by the subject:
never, seldom, scarcely
..... when, no sooner ..... than, nowhere, in
no circumstances, on no account, only then, not
only
Seldom has
one century seen so many changes.
No sooner did we hear the results when there was a knock at the
door.
Never would I be persuaded to buy a secondhand car.
Usual word order with
different adverbs: MANNER PLACE TIME
She sang beautifully
in the concert hall last night.
