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.

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.

or after a form of to be (am, are, is) - (was, were).
