UNIT 5 ADVERBS OF MANNER
Adverbs of manner are words that show how something is done, modifying other
verbs, adjectives, other adverbs or a whole sentence.


Adverts are usually placed in a particular position within a sentence, depending on what they are
modifying
When modifying a verb or verb phrase, the adverb is usually placed after the verb or verb
phrase

When modifying an adjective, the advert is usually placed before the adjective

When modifying a whole clause or sentence, the advert is placed at the very beginning of the

CLAUSE OF SATŠINICE.

called evaluation adverb

Adverbs of time give information about when something is done. These adverbs can
express when an action happened, how frequently it happens, how long it goes for, or
whether the action is complete
Adverbs of time are usually positioned at the end or the beginning of a sentence, if the sentence is
very short, the adverb is placed at the end of the sentence.

Adverbs of place tell us where something is done. These adverbs are like prepositions, in that
they show where something is done or the direction it is headed. However, an adverb of place
doesn't need an object, whereas a preposition does. Adverbs of place are normally placed at the
end of a sentence.

Adjectives provide more information about the noun or pronoun that they describe,
and help to create a more specific image sense of what is being described.

they describe.
