Use of adverbs of time in English. Place in sentence

Adverb (Adverb) refers to independent parts of speech, that is, independent. Let's take a closer look at this part of speech.

Let's get down to business!

What is an English adverb?

Adverb ( adverb) is an independent and independent part of speech, indicating a sign of an action or the various circumstances under which the action takes place.

The main questions of an adverb are: “how?” - " how?", "how?" - " in what way?", "Where?" - " where?", "Why? - " why?", "When?" - " when?", "in what degree?" - " to what degree?»

After reading this article, consolidate your knowledge of adverbs on the TOP 100 adverbs simulator in the English language.

All adverbs in English language can be divided into two categories: by form and by meaning. The forms of adverbs are:

• simple ( simple): “now”, “today” etc. (now, today, etc.);
• derivatives ( derived). They are formed from qualitative adjectives, to which the suffix “-ly” is added: “usual” - “usually” (usual - usually);
• complex ( compound): "sometimes" (sometimes);
• compound ( composite): “at least” (finally).

According to their meaning, adverbs are divided into groups.

Table of groups of adverbs in English

How and when adverbs are used

Adverbs can give characteristics:

• actions: He is running quickly. - He runs fast.
• sign: She is very witty. - She is very witty.
• another adverbs: It's too late. - Too late.
• entire offer: Honestly, we did a great job. - Honestly, we did a great job.

In addition, adverbs in English can connect individual offers. Such adverbs include the words: “ therefore», « then», « however», « nevertheless», « still», « yet», « besides», « moreover», « otherwise», « else" Or even whole sentences (subordinate and main clauses as part of a complex: “ when», « where», « how», « why».

For example:

It was very difficult to start my own business. I continued nevertheless and never looked back.- Starting your own business was very difficult. However, I continued and never looked back.

I don’t care why you are late again.“I don’t care why you were late again.”

Adverbs “when”, “where”, “why”, “how” can serve as a question word:

Where is that boy?-Where is this boy?
When did you come?- When did you arrive?

Adverbs can reflect the speaker’s personal attitude to the topic of conversation, in which case they are called “adverbs of point of view” ( viewpoint adverb).

Foolishly, I agreed to help him.- Out of stupidity, I agreed to help him.
Clearly, he is mistaken.- Obviously, he is mistaken.
Actually, I share your opinion.- In general, I share your point of view.

Formation of adverbs in English

In English, most adverbs in English are formed by adding the ending “- ly" For example: "lone" - " lonely"(lonely - lonely), "slow" - " slowly"(slow - slowly)

Please pay attention to some nuances:

If the word ends with "- y", then we change "-y" to "- i" and also add the ending "- ly" As a result, we get the ending “- ily" For example: "easy" - " easily"(easy - easy), "happy" - " happily"(happy - happily).

If a word ends in "-le", then "-le" is simply replaced with "-ly".
For example: "simple" - " simply"(simple - simple), "able" - " ably"(skillful - skillfully).

Exception words to the rules. Usually these are adverbs that answer the questions: “ When?», « Where?», « How many?. For example: " late" - "late", " little" - "A little", " well" - "Fine", " far" - "far", " fast" - "fast".

Be careful, and if you are in doubt about a word, you can always check yourself by opening a dictionary.

Place of an adverb in an English sentence

The place of adverbs in sentences depends on the words that surround this adverb and directly on its classification:

• Adverbs of manner ( adverbs of manner) are located before the main verb, after the auxiliary verb or at the end of the sentence.

He opened the door quietly. / He quietly opened the door. - He quietly opened the door.
She is greatly respected by other colleagues. - She is very respected by her colleagues.

• Adverbs of degree ( adverbs of degree) will come before an adjective, adverb or main verb, but after an auxiliary verb. Such adverbs include: “ absolutely», « completely», « totally», « very», « quite», « rather", etc.

She is extremely beautiful. - She is incredibly beautiful.
We almost finished this project. - We are almost finished with this project.

• Adverbs of frequency ( adverbs of frequency) is usually placed before the main verb, but after auxiliary verbs, including “to be”. These are adverbs such as " always», « often», « usually», « rarely», « rarely».

I am always pleased to see you.- I'm always glad to see you.
He has always been cruel to her.- He was always cruel to her.

• If we are talking about adverbs of place and time ( adverbs of place and time), then their usual location is at the end or beginning of a sentence. If a sentence contains both adverbs of place and time, the adverb of place goes first. We place some monosyllabic words (soon, now, then) before the main verb, or after auxiliary ones (including “to be”).

I will call you tomorrow.- I'll call you tomorrow.
There is a supermarket nearby.- There is a supermarket nearby.
I will soon let you know whether I want to move or not.- I will let you know soon whether I want to move or not.

• An adverb that defines the entire sentence is usually placed at the beginning or end of the sentence.

Unfortunately, I failed to cope with this work.- Unfortunately, I couldn’t cope with this job.
I will be at work at 8 a.m. probably.- I'll probably be at work by eight in the morning.

What to do if there are two or more adverbs in a sentence? We arrange them according to this scheme: adverb of manner - adverb of place- adverb of time.

She has been reading a book intensely in her bed all day long.- All day she read carefully in her bed.

• And if the sentence contains one of verbs of motion (go, come, leave, etc.)? In this case, the order will be like this: adverb of place - adverb of manner - adverb of time.

I was going there quickly yesterday.- I walked quickly there yesterday.

Flat adverbs

« Flat adverbs", they are " bare adverbs" or adverbs without grammatical indicator- these are adverbs whose form coincides with the corresponding adjectives. Some of them: " far», « fast», « fine», « hard», « high», « long», « low», « near», « quick», « slow», « straight"etc.

Let's look at the most common examples:

• Far(far). This is an adverb doesn't have forms " -ly».

You will go far in your career.- You will go far in your career.

• Fast(fast). Another adverb without the usual equivalent with “-ly”: drive fast(drive quickly).
• Flat(evenly, decisively). Both forms are similar, but distinct:

I was turned down flat.- I was categorically refused.
I was flatly refused.- I was categorically refused.

• Hard(strongly, firmly). This adverb and its form “-ly” have completely different meanings:

He hit him hard.- He hit him hard.
He hardly hit him.- He barely hit him.

• Kind(gently, kindly). "Kind" and "kindly" have slightly different meanings:

Be kind. - Be kind/kind.

Think kindly of them.- Think kindly of them.

• Quick(fast). This adverb is interchangeable with its “-ly” form: “come quick” and “come quickly” mean the same thing (come soon).
• Smart(quickly, deftly). It is shaped with "-ly". The meanings of the shapes are slightly different.

Kids like to play smart now and choose transformers.- Today, children love to play wisely and choose transformers.
He loves dressing smartly.- He likes to dress elegantly.

• Slow(slowly). “Slow” and “slowly” are interchangeable: “drive slow” and “drive slowly” mean the same thing.

Degrees of comparison of adverbs in English

Depending on what we are comparing, we can distinguish 2 degrees of comparison:

1. Comparative- compare objects by common feature. For example: He jumps higher than his sister.

2. Excellent— we compare objects in order to identify the object with the most pronounced feature. For example: He jumps the highest.

To form comparative And excellent degree of comparison for adverbs with the suffix “- ly", necessary add words « more» ( less) or " most» ( least), which are translated as more/less and most/least, to positive degree of this word. For example: openly -more/ less openly - most/ least openly (open - more / less open - most / least open).

Monosyllabic adverbs like " fast», « soon" etc. form degrees of comparison, like their corresponding adjectives, that is, using the suffixes “- er» / «- est»:
soon - sooner - soonest(soon).

In a particular number of adverbs in general no degree comparisons. These include " before», « here», « very" and others.

And there is also a group of formation of adverbs in the English language, which are an exception, since they do not form degrees of comparison according to the rules. They need to be learned:

• far - farther - farthest(far);
• far - further - furthest(far);
• badly - worse - worst(Badly);
• little - less - least(few);
• much - more - most(a lot of);
• well - better - best(Fine).

Conclusion

Adverbs in English are independent and independent parts of speech that determine the nature of the action. According to their form they are divided into 4 groups: simple, derivatives, complex And composite. By value they are divided into: adverbs of image actions, adverbs of place, adverbs of time in English, adverbs of frequency in English And adverbs of degree. Adverbs are formed by adding the suffix " -ly” to an adjective, but there are also forms that need to be remembered. Adverbs can appear at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a sentence, and have a comparative and superlative degree comparisons, like adjectives.

We hope this article has cleared all your doubts on this topic. Good luck in your studies and your clear English.

Which are in every grammatical tense form. Beacons “support” grammatical tense and, as it were, enhance its meaning.

Adverbs of time are indefinite and definite. It goes without saying that adverbs of indefinite time mainly appear in Indefinite groups and Perfect. It is by the beacons (adverbs of indefinite tense) that one can immediately make a “diagnosis,” that is, accurately determine the type of grammatical tense during direct translation.

ALWAYS – Always; NEVER – never; EVER = ever; USALLY= usually; SOMETIMES – Sometimes; OFTEN - often;, SELDOM – rarely; JUST – just now; ALREADY – already; STILL more; SOON soon, soon; HARDLY EVER – barely, almost not; GENERALLY as a rule, mostly; OCCASIONALLY sometimes, from time to time; RARELY rarely; REGULARLY – regularly, constantly; etc. - are usually placed before the predicate, that is, it occupies the middle position – mid-position. But predicates are different, so I’ll write examples with simple and complex shapes predicates.

For simple predicates:

The sun ALWAYS rises in the east. = The sun always rises in the east.

John OCCASIONALLY goes to the cinema. = John goes to the cinema occasionally.

His wife NEVER stay at home on Sundays. = His wife never stays at home on Sundays.

We GENERALLY have breakfast at eight. = We usually have breakfast at eight.

My son RARELY writes to me. = My son rarely writes to me.

Her uncle USUALLY walks to his office. = Her uncle usually walks to the office.

Henry ALWAYS goes to school by bus. = Henry always goes to school by bus.

I SOMETIMES goes to bed very late. = I sometimes go to bed very late.

Mrs. Black HARDLY EVER play tennis now. = Mrs. Black hardly plays tennis anymore.

We SELDOM met him in the park. = We rarely saw him in the park.

So, the rule is: Place an adverb of indefinite time before the predicate.

But every rule has exceptions. Any exceptions to grammatical rules do not arise out of nowhere. If you want to highlight or emphasize, that is, to strengthen any part of a sentence or word (and in our case, these are adverbs of time), it is put in first place. This intensification is called EMPHASE and then the adverb is under EMPHATIC Stress. This is understandable, because the language is spoken by people, not robots. Sometimes you want to show a contrast with another statement. So, adverbs of time can leave their rightful place and take first position. This applies primarily to the adverb SOMETIMES. But other adverbs can also be placed at the beginning of a sentence. For example:

Sometimes he goes to school by bus and sometimes he cycles to school. = Sometimes he goes to school by bus, and sometimes by bicycle.

Do you generally go for a walk on Sunday afternoons? – No, usually I go to play tennis. = Do you usually go for a walk on Sunday afternoon? – No, usually (as a rule) I go to play tennis.

In this example, usually is placed at the beginning of the sentence because it receives emphatic stress.

When often has adverbs of measure very or quite, it is placed at the beginning or end of the sentence. For example:

I often meet Tom on his way to school. = I often meet Tom when he goes to school.

I met Ann quite often when I was in London. = I met Anna quite often when I was in London.

Very often the weather was too bad for us to go out. = Very often we couldn’t go outside because of bad weather.

Quite often he prefers to stay at home instead of going for a walk. = Quite often he prefers to stay at home rather than go out.

For complex predicates, when an adverb of indefinite time is placed after auxiliary, modal, copular verb or “to be” verb.

My granny is ALWAYS at home on week-days. = On weekdays my grandmother is always at home.

I can HARDLY EVER understand what that man says. = I have difficulty understanding what this person is saying.

You must NEVER do that again. = You must never repeat it (do it again).

The children can SELDOM find time for reading. = Children may rarely find time to read.

Will he EVER learn anything useful? = Will he ever learn anything useful?

Ann has NEVER been to London. = Anna has never been to London.

You should ALWAYS try to be punctual. = You should always try to be punctual.

My father has JUST come home. = My father just came home.

We have ALREADY seen this film. = We have already seen this film.

She has OFTEN written to him. = She wrote to him often.

I can ALWAYS help you with English. = I can always help you with English.

A few words about the verb “to have”.

If the verb “to have” is a full-valued verb, that is, it is translated as “to have, possess” or is included in, such as “to have dinner” = to dine, then adverbs of time are placed before the verb “to have”.

We GENERALLY have coffee for breakfast. = We usually drink coffee for breakfast.

He OFTEN has his English in the evening. = He often studies English in the evenings.

If the verb “to have” is , then adverbs of indefinite tense are placed before the verb “have to”.

I OFTEN have to cook my own breakfast. = I often have to cook my own breakfast.

I have OFTEN cooked my own breakfast. = I often cooked breakfast for myself.

If the action is expressed by a combination, then the adverb of indefinite time is placed before “used”.

You ALWAYS used to help me. = You always helped me.

He OFTEN used to sit outside the door of his house. = He often used to sit in front of the door of his house.

adverb is independent part speech that denotes a sign of a quality, action or object. Adverbs answer questions: How? When? Why? Where? How? How long etc. The main feature of an adverb is immutability, that is, these words never change their structure:

• already(already): Have you already eaten something? -Have you eaten anything yet?
• yet(yet, already) - used only in interrogative and negative sentences. IN interrogative sentence used to mean " already" (instead of already): Have you finished your work yet? —Have you finished your work yet?

In this article we will analyze adverbs of frequency in English.

These include adverbs of time, which provide the listener additional information, showing how often events occur.

These adverbs are important and should be part of any English learner's vocabulary.

There are two types of adverbs of frequency in English:

• certain adverbs of frequency, which clearly indicate periodicity, time frame;
• indefinite adverbs of frequency that do not indicate specific terms.

Let's take a closer look at them and learn how to use them.

Words that clearly describe the frequency with which events occur. Be it week, month, time of day, day of week:

• once – once, once;
• twice - twice;
• three, four times - three, four times;
• daily - daily;
• monthly – monthly;
• yearly/annually – annually.

Definite adverbs of frequency:

• change the meaning of the verb(characterize him);
• in most cases they are placed at the beginning(set off with a comma)and the end of the sentence;
• ending with "-ly": used only at the end of a sentence; can act as adjectives - daily meetings, yearly report.

I drink beer daily. –Every day I drink beer.

They eat rice once a week. –Once a week they eat rice.

They play football fourtimesaweek. –They play football four times a week.

Adverbs of frequency with “every”

Adverbs of frequency in English

These are the words that are used most often.

Almost always indicate routine, repeating events. The frequency of their repetitions is determined, but it is not clearly specified.

Describe:

• general facts;
• habits;
• schedule/schedule.

Rules for using adverbs of frequency in English

• modify both the verb and the adjective (exception with “be”);
• at the beginning of the sentence they are separated by commas (most often);
• Most often used in the Present Simple, but can also appear in the Past Simple and Present Perfect.

They always traveled when they lived in S.Korea. – They always traveled while living in South Korea.

She has never drunk sort of tea. – She had never tried this type of tea.

Place in sentence

Most often, adverbs of frequency in English are placed in the middle of a sentence, before the main or singular verb. This rule applies to:

• sentences with one verb - the main one;
• sentences with several verbs: adverbs are placed between the auxiliary and main verbs;
• interrogative and negative sentences.

Exceptions

Verb "be"

Adverbs of frequency are placed after it (regardless of the form: am, is, are, was, were).

She is rarely late for school. – She is rarely late for school.

They are never at home in the mornings. – They are never home in the morning.

Some adverbs that can be placed at the beginning and end of a sentence

• usually
• normally;
• often;
• frequently;
• sometimes;
• occasionally.

This formulation is used if it is necessary to focus attention on the adverb, to place semantic emphasis on it.

Usually, I go to the nightclub on Saturday. / I go to the nightclub on Saturday usually.

I usually go to a nightclub on Saturdays.

Sometimes, she does her shopping on Fridays. / She does her shopping on Sundays sometimes.

Sometimes she goes shopping on Fridays.

The adverbs “never, rarely, rarely” are not placed at the end of the sentence

And if they are placed at the beginning, then inversion occurs - a rearrangement of the members of the sentence. Auxiliary verbs - do, does, am, is, have, had, may, can - are brought forward.

Seldom does my brother write letters to his friends. – My brother usually doesn't write letters to his friends.

Rarely do I ride bike to my work. – I don't often ride my bike to work.

"Always" should not be placed at the beginning of a sentence

His brother always gets up early on Sundays. – His brother always gets up early on Sundays.

I was always play with my dog. – I used to play with my dog ​​all the time.

Question

All adverbs of frequency answer the question “How often?”

How often do your friends go to a restaurant? – How often do your friends go to a restaurant?

How often does she go out in the evenings? – How often does she go for walks in the evening?

When asking a question, we place adverbs of frequency after the subject

Do the children rarely watch TV? – How often do children watch TV?

Does his sister normally do all the homework? – Does his sister usually do all the housework?

Negation

In negative sentences we place adverbs of frequency after the negative particle; before the semantic verb.

She doesn't usually look at me. – Usually she doesn't look at me.

I don't often read after dinner. – I don't often read after dinner.

Adverbs are words that describe verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, or phrases. They often answer the question “How?” (How?). For example:

She sings beautifully.
She sings beautifully. (How does she sing? Beautiful.)
He runs very fast.
He runs very fast. (How fast does he run? Very fast.)
I occasionally practice speaking English.
From time to time I practice spoken English. (How often do I practice? From time to time.)

The place occupied by an adverb in an English sentence depends on what type of adverb it is. It is in this aspect that we will understand in today's lesson.

1. Do not put an adverb between the verb and the object of its action

In the next sentence painted is a verb and the house— an object. Carefully, as you might have guessed, is an adverb.

I carefully painted the house. = Right
I painted the house carefully. = Right
I painted carefully the house. = Wrong

Here's another example. In this sentence read is a verb, a book is the object of action, and sometimes- adverb.

I sometimes read a book before bed. = Right
Sometimes I read a book before bed. = Right
I read a book before bed sometimes. = Acceptable, but only in informal situations
I read sometimes a book before bed. = Wrong

There are three standard adverb locations

Front position: at the beginning of a sentence

Suddenly the phone rank.
Suddenly the phone rang.

Luckily, nobody was injured.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Maybe I'll go for a walk.
Maybe I'll go for a walk.

Middle position: next to the main verb

I always exercise before work.
I always do exercises before work.

They have completely forgotten about our appointment.
They completely forgot about our meeting.

He was probably late for the interview.
He was probably late for the interview.

She slowly began to recover from her illness.
She slowly began to recover from her illness.

Final position: at the end of the sentence

You speak English well.
You speak English well.

Please sit there.
Please sit here.

They're at dinner quietly.
They had dinner quietly.

The place of an adverb in a sentence depends on its type. Some adverbs can take different positions.

Adverbs of manner

quickly, slowly, easily, happily, well,* badly, seriously

The position in the middle of the sentence gives the adverb less expressiveness:

He quickly corrected his mistake.
He quickly corrected his mistake.
She easily passed the test.
She passed the test easily.
We happily accepted the invitation.
We gladly accepted the invitation.

The position at the end of the sentence, on the contrary, gives the adverb more expressiveness:

He corrected his mistake quickly.
He corrected his mistakes quickly.
She passed the test easily.
She passed the test easily.
We accepted the invitation happily.
We accepted the invitation with joy.

Adverbs of manner that do not end in -ly(such as well, hard and fast) can only occupy a position at the end of a sentence:

They dance well.
They dance well.
He's working hard.
He works tirelessly.
She runs fast.
She runs fast.

Adverbs of time and frequency

Specific frequency: daily,* weekly,* every year, last week

Place: at the beginning of a sentence or at the end of a sentence (most often).

I study English every day.
I study English every day.
Every day, I study English.
Every day I study English.
We went to Australia last year.
We went to Australia last year.
Last year we went to Australia.
Last year we went to Australia.

Adverbs of frequency expressed in one word cannot occupy the front position in a sentence:

I speak with my mother daily.
I talk to my mom every day (daily)
Let's meet weekly to share updates on the project.
Let's meet every week to share the latest news about the project.

Uncertain frequency: often, usually, occasionally, frequently, rarely, sometimes, always, finally, eventually, soon, never

Always And never stand in the middle of a sentence - before the verb:

I always wake up early.
I always get up early.
We never imagined this would be so hard.
We never imagined it would be so difficult.

The rest can occupy different positions:

Usually I take the bus to work.
I usually go to work by bus.
I usually take the bus to work.
I usually go to work by bus.
Soon you'll be finished with school.
You'll graduate from school soon.
You'll soon be finished with school.
You'll graduate from school soon.
You'll be finished with school soon.
You will graduate soon.
We occasionally drink wine.
We sometimes drink wine.
Occasionally we drink wine.
Sometimes we drink wine.
We drink wine occasionally.
We drink wine sometimes.We drink occasionally wine. = Wrong!

Remember: never put an adverb between a verb and the object of its action!

Adverbs of place

everywhere, nearby, downstairs, outside, south/southward, towards, backwards

They are usually placed at the end of the sentence or in the middle - immediately after the verb:

The children are playing outside.
Children play in the yard.
The glass shattered and the pieces flew everywhere.
The glass broke and pieces flew everywhere.
They drove south/southward on the highway.
They were driving south on the highway.
He walked towards the police station.
