Sentence structure
Multilingual Writers and ESL Topics
Adverbs modifying verbs can appear in various positions: at the beginning or end of a sentence, before or after a verb, or between a helping verb and its main verb.
✵ Slowly, we drove along the rain-slick road.
✵ Martin handled the teapot very carefully.
✵ Mia always wins our tennis matches.
✵ Christina is rarely late for our lunch dates.
However, an adverb cannot appear between a verb and its direct object.
