POSITION OF ADVERBS II
We usually place definite adverbs of time (yesterday, last week, Monday) at the end of a sentence.
e.g. I saw Miss Kelly yesterday
I intend to go to Tokio next week
I met her there last Sunday
We usually place adverbs of frequency before the main verb, except To Be. The following are adverbs of frequency: often, usually, generally, never, seldom, always, rarely.
e.g. Mary never studies her lesson.
Peter and Paul always come to their lesson late.
BUT:
You are often late for your classes
If the sentence contains an auxiliary verb, the adverb still goes before the main verb.
e.g. Dick has always been a very good student
She doesn’t usualy eat in the restaurant
In the sentences below place the adverb in its proper position in the sentence.
1.I see Jane in the cafeteria.(never)_____________________________________
2. Jack has been a very diligent student.(usually)______________________________
3. He goes to Paris on business trips.(often)__________________________________
4. She prepares her lesson.(rarely)__________________________________________
