Today's lesson

Goal: To understand where adverbs that describe frequency, manner, degree, place or time can be placed in a sentence.

Let's go back and see what we can remember first.

If place and time are in sentence, where do they go in the sentence?

What comes first in a sentence? (when it's at the back of the sentence)

1. Place
2. Time

Which can also be put in front of the sentence?

1. Place
2. Time

Summary is ...

Adverbs of place and time come at the end of the sentence. 

Place always before time. 

If time is very important to the sentence, it goes at the start of the sentence.

To understand where to place adverbs of frequency, manner and degree, basic sentence structure needs to be understood. 

Adverbs can give extra information about ....

1. Verbs only
2. Verbs and adjectives
3. Verbs, adjectives and other adverbs
4. Adjectives and adverbs

Adverbs of manner, place, time, degree & frequency

All the underlined words are adverbs of frequency. What do you notice about their position in the sentence? 

Adverbs of frequency - Summary

 Subject - adverb of frequency - verb  ----->  I usually wake up at 7.

Two Exceptions to this rule: 

1) When there is a form of to be - then always after "to be"

-----> I am always late for school. 

-----> She is never going to buy me a Christmas present.

2) More than one verb - then after the first verb.

-----> Peter has never been to Italy. 

-----> We don't usually go to Granny's house on Mondays.

Helen drives (always) to work.

1. Yes
2. No

Adverbs of Manner - "Hoe dan? / How?"

Fast, well, slowly, quietly, quickly, beautifully, : geef aan hoe de actie is uitgevoerd

Positie in de zin: op het einde van de zin of vóór het hoofdwerkwoord. Na het werkwoord als er geen voorwerp is, anders na het voorwerp,

       I grabbed my bag quickly or I quickly grabbed my bag.    

      They nervously waited for the President.

  

Nooit tussen het werkwoord en het voorwerp!  >>>>   I grabbed quickly my bag

Vóór het woord waar ze iets van zeggen
