Adverbs in sentences

Most adverbs are after the main verb.

Adverbs of frequency (never, usually, always) are before  the main verb

Uitzonderingen: Adjectives in sentences

Sometimes, adjectives will 

be after a linking verb.

e.g.

He feels sad.

Adverbs

- Adverbs maak je door -ly achter het bijvoeglijk naamwoord te 
   zetten  (quick > quickly, careful > carefully)

Apart from some exceptions which will be explained later on!

Uitzonderingen

- Je gebruikt ook adjectives i.p.v. adverbs bij werkwoorden 
   zoals be / feel / look / taste / sound / smell / seem

- Een aantal adverbs maak je niet met -ly: 
   good > well          the good dog, you did well
   fast > fast             the fast car, he ran fast                 ('hardly' =
   hard > hard          the hard test, he tried hard          nauwelijks)
