Structure: ‘Adverbs 3’

Fly High English - Structure

This time in our structure help we continue to talk about adverbs. This week it’s connecting adverbs. They’re similar to conjunctions (and, but, so, because) but not the same. Connecting adverbs don’t grammatically connect to the previous sentence as you’ll see in the examples. Connecting adverbs are usually used at the start of a new sentence. Look at the diagram below for more information.

This time in our structure help we continue to talk about adverbs. This time we talk about adverbs of place and adverbs of time. In our previous ‘word order’ posts we didn’t talk about ‘place’ and ‘time’ words as adverbs, but they are, and you probably know their positions in sentences. Have a look at the diagram below to confirm if you’re right.

Structure: adverbs of frequency

How to use adverbs of ‘frequency’

Adverbs of frequency tell you approximately how often something happens.

Tip: It’s important to place adverbs in the correct position in a sentence.

Adverbs of frequency can be placed in more than one position in a sentence but we’ll focus on the most natural position for these adverbs in two situations; with normal verbs and with the verb ‘be’.

  • subject + adverb + normal verb + …
    • I usually arrive one hour before my flights.
  • subject + ‘be‘ + adverb + …
    • The flight is seldom late.

Check out the diagram below for more and then try to write some examples of your own.
