Different kinds of adverbs go in different positions in a clause. Here are some general rules: for more details, see 14. (Note: these rules apply both to one-word adverbs and to adverb phrases of two or more words.;

Verb and object

We do not usually put adverbs between a verb and its object.

adverb + verb + object verb I adverb I object

• I very much like my job. (NOT I like very much my job... verb + object + adverb
• She speaks English well. (NOT She speaks well English.)

Adverbs, such as often, always, seldom, usually, sometimes, never and etc., stand in sentences to indicate the Present Simple Tense.

• They seldom play badminton in the yard.
• She often visits her dentist.
• We never get tired.
• He sometimes meets your children at the zoo.
• I usually go to bed very late.

Both adjectives and adverbs describe other words.

• 
  Adjectives describe a noun or pronoun.
  
• 
  Adverbs describe a verb, adjective, or other adverb.
  

Tip: Many adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective (poor →poorly; gentle → gently), but a number of common adverbs do not follow this pattern.

Further, some words can be either adjectives or adverbs, depending on how they are used in a sentence.

Adverbs of place

Adverbs of place usually go in end position, but we can put them in front position to show a contrast or expansion. This order is found mainly in descriptive writing and reports. Compare:

• The money was eventually found under the floorboards. (= end) and
• The police searched the house and under the floorboards they found a body. (= front)
