  • Some/any/no/compound words

Slide 1 - Slide

Adverbs/Word order
Affirmative sentence: S/V/O (She wrote a letter)
Questions: V/S/O (Did she write a letter?)

1) P before T (place BEFORE time) - beginning or end of sentence (emphasis) (more specific BEFORE les specific)

2) Short adverbs:
  • 1 verb-> before V (He often works late / He works really late sometimes!)
  • 2 verbs -> after 1st V (He can really be nice if he wants to/ He can be really nice if he wants to -> difference in meaning)
  • to be -> after form of "to be" (He is really not that kind)
  • questions -> after S (Did she really care?)

3) Longer adverbs:
After verb/beginning or end of sentence (emphasis) (if adverb modifies an adjective -> before adjective: She was a really nice girl)

Adverbs of frequency
General rule:

Adverbs of frequency (seldom/rarely/often/never) are put:

  • directly before the main verb (1 verb in sentence)  -> I seldom go out. I never eat meat.
  • after the form of  'be' (if this is the only verb) -> She was rarely there. He is never alone.
  • after the auxiliary verb if there are more verbs in the sentence -> She will always be daddy's little girl. They've never forgotten it.
