1) Learn the rules
1. The position of adverbs in sentences
We can put adverbs in different positions in sentences. There are three main positions but also a lot of exceptions.
In English we never put an adverb between the verb and the object.
correct: → We often play handball.
incorrect: → We play often handball.
2. The three main positions of adverbs in English sentences
2.1. Adverb at the beginning of a sentence
Unfortunately, we could not see Mount Snowdon.
2.2. Adverb in the middle of a sentence
The children often ride their bikes.
2.3. Adverb at the end of a sentence
Andy reads a comic every afternoon.
3. More than one adverb at the end of a sentence
If there are more adverbs at the end of a sentence, the word order is normally:
Manner – Place – Time
Peter sang the song happily in the bathroom yesterday evening.
Where do adverbs of frequency go?
Adverbs of frequency show you how often something happens. This can be always = 100%, or never = 0%.
- always
- usually
- regularly
- normally
- often
- sometimes
- occasionally
- rarely
- seldom
- never
These adverbs can go before the main verb.
| Subject | Auxiliary | Adverb of frequency | Verb | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | always | get up | at 6.45. | |
| Peter | can | usually | play | football on Sundays. |
| Mandy | has | sometimes | got | lots of homework. |
or after a form of to be (am, are, is) - (was, were).
| Subject | Auxiliary | Adverb of frequency | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|

The adverbs often, usually, sometimes and occasionally can go at the beginning of a sentence.
