RECAP

In the previous sessions, we’ve learned about one of the Kinds of

Adverb, the adverbs of manner which tell us how or in what way an action
was done. Other than this, there are other kinds of adverb that we can use
in writing explicit and meaningful sentences.

6
 LESSON

An adverb is a figure of speech that describes a verb, an adjective or

another adverb. Adverbs are helpful in adding extra information in a
person’s writing. It can bring eagerness to a passage or news article. And
basically when speaking, adverbs will tell the listener more details about an
event.

Today, let us talk about the other kinds of adverb. They are adverbs
of time and place.

Adverbs of time tell when something happened or when someone did

something. Adverbs of time answer the question when. These adverbs
maybe a word or phrase. Have a look at the example:

The frontliners joined the health campaign last week.

If we ask the question, “When did the frontliners join the health
campaign?”,we get the answer as last week. Last week is the adverb of time
since it tells us when the frontliners attended the health campaign. It
modifies the verb joined.

Adverbs of time have standard positions in a sentence depending on

what the adverb of time is telling us. Adverbs of time often work best when
placed at the end of sentences. We can also change the position of an adverb
of time to give emphasis to a certain aspect of a sentence. For example:

Tomorrow, the pupils will attend a workshop.

If we ask the question, “When will the pupils attend a workshop?”, we

get the answer as tomorrow. Tomorrow is the adverb of time since it tells us
when will the pupils attend the workshop. It modifies the verb will attend.

Here are the most commonly used adverbs of time: tonight ,

tomorrow, yesterday, last night, today, now, and a lot more.

Now, let’s talk about another kind of adverb. It is called Adverb of

Place.

Adverbs of place tell where the action has taken place. Adverbs of
place answer the question where or in which direction. Have a look at the
Example:

Arabella puts the dolls inside the ice cream tent.

7
 If we ask the question, “Where does Arabella put the dolls?”, we get
the answer as inside the ice cream tent . Inside the ice cream tent is the
adverb of place since it tells us where Arabella places the dolls. It modifies
the verb puts.

Adverbs of place are normally placed after a sentence's object or main

verb. Adverbs of place can be directional. For example:

Most birds fly northward when the farmers set a scarecrow.

If we ask the question, “Where do birds fly when the farmers set a
scarecrow?”, we get the answer as northward. Northward is an adverb of
place and it shows direction. It modifies the verb fly.

Here are the most commonly used adverbs of place: here, there, up,
eastward, down, by the wayside, and a lot more.

ACTIVITIES
