Welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about adverbs of place.
Let's get started.
Remember that an adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs adjectives or other verbs.
Note that adverbs usually modify verbs telling us how how often when or where something was done.
Have a look at the example over here.
We walked really slowly.
Now the adverb slowly modifies the verb walked.
It tells us how we walked no adverbs of please tell us where something happens.
They do not modify adjectives or other adverbs.
Have a look at the example below.
I'm going back to school in a month.
The adverb of place back modifies the verb going it tells us where we are going.
Remember that adverbs of place are usually pleased after the main verb or after the clause that they
modify.
Have a look at the examples below.
Come in the adverb in modifies the main verb come and in the sentence Helen looked around trying to
find a familiar face in the crowd.
Note that the adverb of place around modifies the main verb looked where Helen looked.
Now the adverbs of place that end in where expressed the idea of location without specifying a specific
location or direction.
Have a look at the example below.
I couldn't find my cat anywhere.
The adverb of please anywhere expresses the idea of location but it does not specify a specific location
or direction and adverbs of please that end in words express movement in a particular direction.
Have a look at the example below.
How a dog likes to walk backwards.
The adverb of please backwards expresses the movement of the dog
and with verbs of movement here means towards or with the speaker and there means a wave from or not
with the speaker.
Have a look at the examples below.
You can hang your coat here.
The adverb of place here tells us that you are standing near the hanger and in the sentence and you
can put your shoes there.
The adverb of place there tells us that you are pointing at the shoes rack you are not standing near
its.
Note that here and there I combined with prepositions to make many common adverbial phrases.
Have a look at the examples below.
Could you come over here over is a preposition in here.
The adverb.
Together they make an adverbial phrase.
What are you doing up there again.
Up is a preposition in there.
The adverb of place
and here and there are placed at the beginning of the sentence and exclamations or when emphasis is
needed.
Note that they are followed by the verb.
If the subject is a noun or by a pronoun if the subject is a pronoun.
Have a look at the example below.
Here comes the train the adverb of place here is used in the sentence to eat emphasis and note that
is followed by the verb and its subject is train a noun.
And in this sentence There it is note that the adverb of place there is followed by a pronoun which
is also the subject of the sentence.
