Adverb position and

order of adjectives
 There are three basic positions to place adverb
in a sentence as follows:
• The front position: before the subject of the sentence. It gives information in
advance, to set the scene for the action that follows.
• The mid position: the adverb in this position is intimately connected with the verb,
generally placed immediately before it. If there is an auxiliary verb, the adverb is
placed between the auxiliary and main verb (She resolved she would never see him again.);
In case there are two, it is placed between them (This operation has never been performed
in this country.). If there is a negative auxiliary, the adverb normally goes after the
negative element (We don’t usually go to restaurant on Sundays.), but we can emphasize
negation by placing the adverb just before it (She probably won’t meet him.).
• The end position: at the end of the sentence.
