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. 

Basic sentence structure (SVOMPT)

Basic: Subject, verb, object, manner, place, time

All sentences have the first two (Subject, verb)

and can have a combination of the rest or them all.

My dad reads the newspaper

Sally walks slowly to school today

Sentence structure

• Subject > The boy
• Verb > ran
• Object > with the football
• Manner > quickly
• Place > down the street 
• Time > a few minutes ago.

The boy ran with the football quickly down the street a few minutes ago.

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

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.
