Adverbs in English. Determining the place in sentences
Pre-Intermediate
Setting principle adverbs to a specific place in a sentence is based on two points:
- The adverb is placed either BEFORE or AFTER the verb.
- Adverbs of different categories (mode of action, time, place, etc.) occupy different places in the sentence.
Therefore, there are several possible options for setting each category of adverbs in a sentence.
1. Before the verb
- Adverbs always, often, seldom, ever, never, just, already, yet, usually, generally, sometimes, still, soon, once… But!!! These adverbs are placed AFTER THE VERB TO BE.
- Mode of action adverbs, if the verb is followed by an infinitive.
- All adverbs are placed before have to + infinitive and used to
2. After the verb
- Mode of action adverbs.
- All adverbs are placed after an auxiliary verb, after a modal verb, or after the first verb (if the verb construction is complex).
- The adverb «yet «to mean» yet «.
- The adverb «enough».
3. At the end of the sentence
- The adverb «yet«In the meaning» already «.
- Adverbs before, lately, recently.
- Adverbs too, either.
4. At the beginning or end of a sentence
- Sometimes can stand anywhere.
- Adverbs tomorrow, today, yesterday.
5. additional information
- Adverb enough is placed after an adverb or definition. It can also define a noun and stand both before and after it.
- Adverb too in the meaning «too» is placed before the word that it defines.
- If the adverb of time and the adverb of place are next to each other, then the adverb of place comes first.
- An adverb defining an adjective or other adverb is placed before the word being defined.
Schematically, the principle of the arrangement of adverbs in a sentence can be depicted as follows:
TABLE.
BEFORE VERB | AFTER VERB | AT THE END OF THE OFFER | AT THE BEGINNING OR END OF THE OFFER |
always, often, seldom, ever, never, just, already, yet, usually, generally, sometimes, still, soon, once | Mode of action adverbs | «Yet» means «already» | Sometimes it can stand anywhere |
Everything before have to + infinitive and used to | Everything after an auxiliary verb, after a modal verb, or after the first verb (if the verb construction is complex) | before, lately, recently | tomorrow, today, yesterday |
Mode of action adverbs, if the verb is followed by an infinitive. | «Yet» means «yet»; enough | too, either | tomorrow, today, yesterday |
In conclusion, we recommend taking the test — choose the correct option:

Conditionals. Conditional clauses
conditionals Are conditional sentences in English.
There are two types of situations for conditional clauses: real и unrealistic.
1. Future tense (Future)
We are talking about a real situation in the future according to the following scheme: if then
Example
If I have the money, I will buy a new car. — If I have money, I will buy a new car.
A real (quite possible) situation: after all, money can be earned, and the speaker sincerely believes in it. Because if I did not believe that I would formulate the phrase in a completely different way (but more on that below).
In Russian, it corresponds to the construction without using the particle «would».
Attention!
In the English construction, despite the future tense, in the part of the sentence containing if, future auxiliaries DO NOT BECOME! This is the difference from the Russian design (if I have will money)
If I will have the money — WRONG!
2. Habitual actions
Habitual, repetitive actions.
In both parts of the sentence (both in the main and in the subordinate clause), the present tense is used (Present Indefinite).
Example
Igor usually rides a bicycle to a shop if he has enough time. — Igor usually goes to the store by bike if he has enough time.
A familiar (daily) situation, also real. Described by the present tense.
3. Command (order)
Example
Please e-mail me if you have a new fun picture. — Please email me if you find a cool new picture.
The real situation. Note again that in the part of the sentence with if (if you have a new fun picture) no future auxiliary.
1. Present or Future Time
Example
If I had the time, I would go to the beach this weekend. — If I had time, I would go to the beach on the weekend.
Everything, the situation is UNREAL! In Russian, this corresponds to the construction “If only, if only” — that is, what is not in reality. And note that the unreal situation is described by the past tense (If I had the time), although we are talking about the future.
Example
If I were the President, I would ordain just laws. — If I were president, I would issue fair laws.
The situation is unreal. Alas, I am not the president, so the laws remain as they are. Again, an analogue of the Russian construction «If only, but if only.» Please note that both in Russian and in English this construction is transmitted past tense (If I was). But in fact, we are talking about the present! If I were president NOW!
Important! In an unreal situation, the verb to be in the past tense will always be Were and never — was!
Therefore If I Were the President, not If I was the President!
If I / you / he / she / it / we / they | Were |
Example
If today were Saturday, we could go to the beach. — If today was Saturday, we would go to the beach.
And again, an unrealistic situation — today is not Saturday, and the beach will have to wait.

Present Simple Table (The Present Indefinite Tense)
We continue to study English grammar and deal with sentences in the present tense. Let me remind you that the first step was the verb to be, sentences with which express a state, being, finding (eg She is nice. She is nice.).
You can read more about the verb to be in my article Present Simple Table. The verb to be.
Today you will learn to express actions that occur regularly, constantly, in general, usually, and Present Simple table (The Present Indefinite Tense) It will help you with this.
In addition to the structure of the sentence and the use of this tense, I will draw your attention in this article to the typical mistakes and shortcomings of students when studying present indefinite time, share only practical observations, and not a dry and boring (but, all the same, very necessary) theory.
Marker words. Present Simple Table (The Present Indefinite Tense)
I want to introduce you to marker words — words that denote certain periods of time, and which tell us what time to use for a particular sentence.
Marker words for Present simple: every day (week, month, year, autumn) (every day (week, month, year, autumn), usually (usually), often (often), seldom (rarely), occasionally (from time to time), sometimes (sometimes ), never, always, hardly ever.
For example, if you want to say: “I usually read in the evening”, then the marker word “usually” tells you that in this sentence the verb (“I read”) is in present indefinite time and you need to translate it, respectively, according to the structure Present simple (“Read”) (not “reading, have read, has read”).
However, it should be remembered that there may not be such clue words in the sentence. Therefore, before translating a sentence, I recommend that you first analyze it: determine the action and understand whether it occurs regularly, constantly, often.If yes, then we do not hesitate to build such a sentence according to one of the schemes described below in Present Simple table.
Symbols:
V — verb — verb
S — subject — subject
Vs — a verb with the ending -s (add this ending to the verb that comes after he, she, it — “He swims, she walks”)
Ves — a verb with the ending -es (add this ending to the verb that comes after he, she, it and ends with letters — -ss, -ch, -sh, -х, -o — “He dresses, she goes”)
Present Simple affirmative

I also want to emphasize that personal pronouns
I (I)you (you you)We (we)They (they)He (he)She (she)It (he, she, it is about animals and objects)
in sentences, if necessary, we replace any other nouns. For example: «My sister loves green tea.» — «My sister s green tea.» That is, since “my sister” is “she”, it is understandable why we say not “”, but “s”.

— Does she cook every evening? — No, she doesn’t. (Yes, she does.) | “Does she cook food every night?” “No. (Yes.) | |
Do / does are auxiliary verbs — they only help form the question and the negation, but are not translated. It is important to use only do (don’t), does (doesn’t) in short answers. Saying «Yes, I cook» is a mistake !!! |

Present Simple marker words: definition, rules and examples
“Time markers” are words that make it possible to determine that the sentence should use the present Simple temporal form. Let’s see how this works, taking the example of Present Simple marker words.
Present Simple time
One of the first topics when learning English grammar is Present Simple. This is the Simple Present Tense, which applies in the following cases:
- to indicate a state, habitual, repetitive action;
- to describe scientific facts, accepted statements, common truths, laws of nature;
- when listing the following one after another actions;
- practical guides, operating instructions, instructions;
- various schedules (trains, buses, cinema sessions, etc.);
- newspaper headlines;
The English language itself helps to understand all cases of using the temporary form of Present Simple. He may suggest special signals — time indicators.
What are time markers
The verbs in the sentence describe actions and events, and they unfold in time. Therefore, the verb itself is directly related to temporary circumstances: when the event took place, how long it lasted, by what moment it ended, etc.
Tense circumstances are not accidental in sentences: they serve as indicators for different verb forms. Such pointers are called temporary markers. For each time in the English language, its own set of indicators is allocated, including Present Simple markers.
If you master the verbal indicators, it is much easier to detect the use of this or that tense. Present Simple pointers will prompt you that in such a context it is the simple present that is used, and not, for example, Present Continuous.
But you should always be careful. Some markers can refer to multiple times. The choice in such cases comes only from the context and understanding of the essence of the situation. And there may be sentences in which there are no circumstances of the tense at all and an indication of the verb form. Therefore, in order to use Present Simple correctly and correctly interpret the indicator hints, it is necessary to master the values of the present simple.
List of time markers
There are often more difficult situations. Sometimes we talk about events inherent in Present Simple. Sometimes we use Present Continuous and other times. It can be difficult to figure it out here, and temporary pointers make our life very much easier.
Basic temp pointers for Present Simple Tense (simple present tense)
always | always |
often | often |
usually | usually |
sometimes | sometimes |
never | never |
Without these pointers, nowhere. You definitely need to know them. Often we are also asked the question: «How often do you do it?» (How often do you do this?)
And here there are often variations — twice a week, three times a week, every day, etc. How to say it?
Temporary pointer table for Present Simple Tense (simple present tense)
every day | Cada dia |
every week | every week |
every month | every month |
Every year | every year |
two times a week | twice a week |
three times per week | three times a week |
four times a month | four times a month |
on weekends | at weekends |
on Mondays | on Mondays |
on Sundays | on Sundays |
rarely | seldom |
Rarely |
This is a more extensive list of temporary pointers. Very often students forget how to say the word «rarely» in English. Not everyone knows the words seldom and rarely. In this case, you can say sometimes and everything will be clear.
It is also important to pay attention to the differences between British and American English when we talk about temporary pointers. How do you say “on weekends” in English? UK version — at weekends. The American version is on weekends. That is, a different pretext is put.
So, for each time in the English language there are auxiliary words — clues that show what kind of temporary form we have in front of us. Present Simple is no exception, and has its own list of auxiliary words.
Examples of time markers
Sample sentences with adverbs of frequency in Present Simple:
- He always gets up at 7 am — He always gets up at 7 am.
- They are usually at home in the evening. “They’re usually at home in the evening.
- Miranda and Greg often visit their grandmother. — Miranda and Greg often visit their grandmother.
- She rarely meets her friends. — She rarely meets with friends.
- We are hardly ever late for work. — We are almost never late for work.
- I never borrow money from my friends. — I never borrow money from friends.
Usually adverbs of frequency are placed before the main verb of the sentence, in particular:
- I sometimes have a shower in the morning. — I sometimes take a shower in the morning.
- Mark doesn’t always give his girlfriend flowers. — Mark does not always give flowers to his girlfriend.
However, there is one situation where this order of words is violated — when there is a verb to be in a sentence, adverbs of frequency are established after it, for example:
- She is hardly ever worried. — She almost never worries.
- Helen and Mike aren’t usually at work at this time. — Helen and Mike are usually not at work at this time.
As a rule, adverbs of frequency are placed before the main verb of a sentence, in particular:
- I sometimes have a shower in the morning. — I sometimes take a shower in the morning.
- Mark doesn’t always give his girlfriend flowers. — Mark does not always give flowers to his girlfriend.
However, there is one situation where this order of words is violated — when there is a verb to be in a sentence, adverbs of frequency are placed after it, in particular:
- She is hardly ever worried. — She almost never worries.
- Helen and Mike aren’t usually at work at this time. — Helen and Mike are usually not at work at this time.
Phrases expressing frequency — they are usually placed at the end of a sentence.
Phrases formed by the word every:
- every + day / week / month / year
- I go shopping every day. — I go shopping every day.
- Scarlett watches a new film every week. — Scarlett watches a fresh movie every week.
- She visits her mother-in-law every month. — She visits her mother-in-law every month.
- Molly goes on holiday every year. — Molly goes on vacation every year.
Phrases formed using the words once and twice:
- once + a week / month / year and twice + a week / month / year
- We see each other once a month. — We see each other once a month.
- Ivan has English lessons twice a week. — Ivan studies English twice a week.
Starting from 3 times or more, we use the word times: three times a month, four times a year
Charlotte’s daughter usually comes to see her about ten times a year. “Charlotte’s daughter usually visits her about ten times a year.

An adverb is a part of speech that denotes a sign of an action and describes where, when and how this action is performed. Often, usually and always refer to adverbs of frequency and answer the question «How often?» Where often, usually and always are put in a sentence — we will consider below.
In English, adverbs of place, time, mode of action, measure and degree, adverbs of frequency of action and adverbs-interrogative words are distinguished. Often, usually and always refer to the adverbs of the frequency of action or otherwise the frequency — Adverbs of Frequency, but are not the only representatives of this group.
Examples of adverbs of frequency of action:
These are far from all the existing Adverbs of Frequency, there are a great many of them. They can be conditionally divided into adverbs of a certain frequency (definite frequency) and adverbs of an indefinite frequency (indefinite frequency). The adverbs of both groups answer the same question: «How often?»
Adverbs of a certain frequency of action:
- Daily — daily
- Annually — annually

Let us dwell on the group of adverbs of an indefinite frequency of action, since often, usually and always represent this particular group. The most common adverbs of indefinite frequency are sometimes presented as a scale on which the difference between them is clearly visible. The frequency of the action is presented as a percentage.
When using these adverbs in speech, the speaker’s subjective opinion plays an important role: for some, «often» is three times a day, and for someone — three times a month.
Action frequency adverbs, including often, usually, and always, refer to Present Simple time markers. The simple present tense is associated with periodicity, regularity, or constancy. Accordingly, the meaning of its markers-adverbs of frequency is also similar.
Statement
As a general rule, if the predicate is expressed by a single semantic verb, then the adverb of frequency should be placed before the verb.
He often visited us. — He often visited us.
I usually drink tea in the morning. — I usually drink tea in the morning.
Question
In adverb matters, frequencies also take place in the middle of a sentence, after the subject.
Did he usually have tea for breakfast? — He always drank tea for breakfast?
Also, adverbs of indefinite frequency are used in short answers to questions before an auxiliary verb, when the speaker agrees or disagrees with what was said earlier.
Mary is depressed again. — Oh, she always is.
Mary is upset again. — She’s always like that.
Tom talks only about himself. — Yes, he always does.
Tom only talks about himself. — Yes, he always does that.
