Adverbs, Adverbs, Adverbs…<\/h1>\n

With English examinations perpetually around the corner, whether it\u2019s your end of term assessment or your in-house Trinity examination \u2014 or perhaps you\u2019re even going for Cambridge FCE, CAE, CPE, or IELTS \u2014 it matters not, it is vital to know how you can prepare for these and how you will be assessed. Generally speaking, when it comes to English language examinations, you are assessed on four skills: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. However, one must remember that all of these skills require a good knowledge of English grammar, and, while the criteria may be different for each level, when it comes to Writing, the golden rule \u2014 no matter what your level \u2014 is that you first and foremost follow the foundations of English Word Order (SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT; PLACE + TIME) dealt with in our last blog post, Exam Tips: Writing (I). The next step is knowing where to place those pesky ADVERBS, which is precisely what we are going to look at now, but first an important question . . .<\/p>\n

What is an Adverb?<\/h2>\n

Simply put, an adverb is a word that describes or modifies a verb. As we know from our last post (<\/a>Exam Tips: Writing [I]<\/a>), <\/u>a verb is an action word, for example: eat, pray, talk, walk, sleep, read, think, feel, and so on. Insofar as an adverb describes or modifies these verbs, it tells us HOW the subject of the sentence performs the verb.<\/p>\n

\"EXAM<\/p>\n

There are three main types of adverbs that will concern us here, Adverbs of Manner<\/strong>, Adverbs of Frequency<\/strong>, and Adverbs of Degree<\/strong>. Let\u2019s start with the easiest when it comes to English Word Order for Writing: Adverbs of Manner.<\/p>\n

Adverbs of Manner<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Expressing the way in which a thing is done or happens, Adverbs of Manner include: slowly, quickly, quietly, loudly, clumsily, carefully, beautifully, gracefully, and so on. When it comes to English Word Order for Writing, the placement of these guys is the easiest because they usually go at the end of the sentence, after your subject, verb, and object:<\/p>\n

Subject<\/strong> + Verb<\/strong> + Object <\/strong>+ Adverb of Manner<\/p>\n

She<\/strong> (Subject) closed<\/strong> (Verb) the door<\/strong> (Object) quietly.<\/p>\n

He<\/strong> (Subject) threw<\/strong> (Verb) the ball<\/strong> (Object) clumsily<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The teacher <\/strong>(Subject) explained<\/strong> (Verb) the problem <\/strong>(Object) carefully<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If your sentence includes Place + Time <\/strong>in addition to an Object, you have two options, of which the first often sounds more natural:<\/p>\n

Subject + Verb + Object<\/strong> (Adverb of Manner)<\/strong> + Place +Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

The teacher <\/strong>(Subject) explained <\/strong>(Verb) the grammar point <\/strong>(Object) brilliantly<\/strong> at ISI <\/strong>(Place) on Monday (<\/strong>Time).<\/strong><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

Subject + Verb + Object<\/strong> + Place +Time <\/strong>(Adverb of Manner)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The teacher <\/strong>(Subject) explained<\/strong> (Verb) the grammar point<\/strong> (Object) at ISI<\/strong> (Place) on Monday<\/strong> (Time) brilliantly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Adverbs of Frequency | Adverbs of Degree<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Expressing the frequency with which a thing is done or happens, Adverbs of Frequency <\/strong>include: always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never,<\/strong> and so on. Expressing the amount, level, or extent to which a thing happens or is present, Adverbs of Degree<\/strong> include: definitely, certainly, totally, utterly, probably, possibly, slightly, barely, <\/strong>and so on. When it comes to English Word Order for Writing, the placement of these guys follows three rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n

RULE 1: VERB<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your sentence contains a verb \u2014 which it must of course \u2014 any verb, except for the verb \u201cto be,\u201d these guys go before the verb:<\/p>\n

Subject <\/strong>(Adverb of Frequency or Degree)<\/strong> + Verb + Object; Place +Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

I<\/strong> always<\/strong> play<\/strong> football.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I<\/strong> never<\/strong> play<\/strong> football.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I<\/strong> definitely<\/strong> play<\/strong> football.<\/strong><\/p>\n

and a complete sentence with Place + Time:<\/u><\/p>\n

I<\/strong> usually<\/strong> play<\/strong> football at ISI on Fridays.<\/strong><\/p>\n

RULE 2: \u201cTO BE\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your sentence contains the verb \u201cto be,\u201d these guys go after the verb:<\/p>\n

Subject + Verb <\/strong>(Adverb of Frequency or Degree) <\/strong>+ Object; Place +Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am <\/strong>always<\/strong> happy. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I am <\/strong>usually<\/strong> happy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am <\/strong>definitely <\/strong>happy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

and a complete sentence with Place + Time:<\/u><\/p>\n

I am <\/strong>never <\/strong>happy in school these days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

RULE 3: AUX\/MOD AUX + MAIN VERB<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your sentence contains an auxiliary verb (be, do, or have) or a modal auxiliary verb (can, could, would, should, might, must, and so on) plus a main verb, theses guys go in-between the two. Now, before we look at how this works, we should probably pause to reflect on why this might be the case, which is to say, the presence of two verbs. Well, first, there might be an auxiliary verb (sometimes called \u201chelping\u201d verbs) and a main verb forming a tense for instance, as in the following example, where we have the auxiliary verb \u201chave\u201d helping itself as a main verb to form the Present Perfect:<\/p>\n

Subject + Verb 1 <\/strong>(Adverb of Frequency or Degree) <\/strong>+ Verb 2 + Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have <\/strong>definitely<\/strong> had my breakfast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or there might be the auxiliary verb \u201cdo\u201d helping a main verb ask a question or say something negative, as in the following example:<\/p>\n

Verb 1 + Subject <\/strong>(Adverb of Frequency or Degree) <\/strong>+ Verb 2 + Object?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you <\/strong>always<\/strong> eat breakfast?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Subject + Verb 1 <\/strong>(Adverb of Frequency or Degree) <\/strong>+ Verb 2 + Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t <\/strong>usually <\/strong>eat breakfast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or there might be a modal auxiliary verb, like \u201cshould” for example, and a main verb present to indicate mood or modality, \u201cshould\u201d is friendly advice, <\/em><\/u>as in this example:<\/p>\n

Subject + Verb 1 <\/strong>(Adverb of Frequency or Degree) <\/strong>+ Verb 2 + Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should <\/strong>always <\/strong>eat breakfast!<\/strong><\/p>\n

One additional thing that is good to know regarding RULE 3 is that if your verb phrase gets longer than two parts \u2014 for example, it could be Present Perfect Continuous, which has three parts \u2014 it matters not, the rule is as follows: the Adverb of Frequency or Degree will always go after the first word in the verb phrase, like so:<\/p>\n

Subject + Verb 1 <\/strong>(Adverb of Frequency or Degree) <\/strong>+ Verb 2 + Verb 3 + Object<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have <\/strong>definitely<\/strong> been improving my grammar!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, I do hope you have improved your grammatical knowledge of English Word Order for Writing through reading this blog post. It\u2019s good to know that these rules also apply to, well, the word also, as you can see, but into the bargain: both, all, just, already, and still. They do not apply to the word yet, which, we are told up to a certain level (B2), can only be used in negative sentences and questions, where it is placed at the end. . . . Of course, this is not really the case, but I have yet to write that blog post!<\/p>\n
