5 EIM Unit 5 The position of adverbs

Slide 1 - Slide

What do we know about adverbs?

Slide 2 - Open question

Use
  • Adverbs should come as near as possible to the verb, adjective or adverb they qualify. This is because the meaning of the sentence can change when the position of the adverb changes.
  • Most adverbs, however, can be placed in different positions with no significant change in meaning. Nevertheless, we need to learn some rules regarding the positions by heart.

Slide 3 - Slide

COMPARE:
  • Only John lent me money. (John, and no one else)
  • John only lent me money. (John didn't do anything else);
  • John lent me only money. (John didn't lent me anything else)
  • John lent only me money. (so, to no one else)

Slide 4 - Slide

An adverb which modifies or decribes or qualifies an adjective or another adverb comes before it.
Mary writes very beautiful poems. ('very' modifies beautiful)
They are highly competitive. ('highly' modifies competitive)
The girl sang so sweetly. ( 'so' modifies sweetly)

exception: enough: enough comes after the adjective it modifies
He was foolish enough  to trust her; She is old enough to travel abroad;

Slide 5 - Slide

Rules
1. When the verb is intransitive (verbs that do not have objects), place the adverb immediately after it. e.g: escape secretively, arrive early, occur occasionally, fall deeply and scream loudly; He walked slowly; She smiled beautifully; He spoke fluently; He arrived late; They worked hard
2.
When the verb is transitive (+ object following), place the adverb immediately after the object.
She endured the pain bravely; He offered his help willingly; He sang the song beautifully; He drove the car fast; He did the job well; He took it lightly.

Slide 6 - Slide

Rules continued....
3. Adverbs of time usually come before the verb. Examples:  frequently, usually, often, never, often, always, seldom, sometimes, etc,
They seldom go on a holiday; She never admitted her fault; She always  tell lies.
4. Adverbs come after  an auxiliary + Past Participle and the forms of to be
They have never invited me to their wedding party; I have always loved jazz; He was greatly praised for his novel idea; We must frequently study the vocabulary; We don’t honestly know the answer.

Slide 7 - Slide

6. The words only; merely; even; not and never are usually placed before the words they modify.

I merely wanted to know my name
She was not clever enough to see through his scheme.
He never keeps his word.

7. Adverbs can be put at the beginning of a sentence to qualify the whole idea of the sentence.
However, we like to discuss another matter today.
Nevertheless, it might be a good idea to sum up all the disadvantages.
Personally, I don't see why school starts so early.

Slide 8 - Slide

8. Adverbs can also be put at end of a clause, to qualify a more  complex idea.

I am completely unobservant.
Most people make their decisions about what to buy emotionally.

9. Adverbial phrases are usually put at the end of the sentence.
This works really well for its size.
We kept the money  quite separately from what we've already collected.
We worked very carefully.
I exercise quite regularly; I am upstairs.

Slide 9 - Slide

language note:
! Avoid putting an adverb between a verb + -ing or a verb + to and infinitive
examples:He started singing quietly; He tried to leave quietly.
RULE: HOW WHERE WHEN:
John only plays football well in the park on Tuesdays.

Grammar: Adjective order
Rule:
If one adjective gives an opinion and the other one states a fact, the opinion (or qualification) comes first.

Slide 15 - Slide

Language Note!
If we use two adjectives from the same category, we put a comma between the two adjectives and tend to put the shorter one first.
EXAMPLES:
She had bright, cheerful  eyes. 
It was a soft, comfortable sofa.

Slide 16 - Slide

Language Note!
If adjectives come after the noun (predicative adjectives) the order is less fixed. We tend to use and before the last one.
EXAMPLES:
We are all hot, tired and thirsty.
The city is old, small and beautiful. (opinion comes last)
