What are adverbs of
place?
• Some adverbs and adverb of phrases
answer the question “where?” They
are called adverbs of place.
• Adverbs of place tell where
something is done.
• Adverbs of place tell us where
something happens. They are usually
placed after the main verb or after the
clause that they modify.
Adverbs that change or qualify the
meaning of a sentence by telling us
where things happen are defined as
adverbs of place.
These adverbs always answer one
important question: Where?
These simple rules for adverbs of
place will help you to use them the
right way:
An adverb of place always talks about
the location where the action of the verb
is being carried out.
1. Adverbs of place can be directional.
For example: Up, down, around, away,
north, southeast
2. Adverbs of place can refer to distances.
For example: Nearby, far away, miles apart
3. An adverb of place can indicate an object’s

position in relation to another object.
For example: Below, between, above, behind,
through, around and so forth.
Examples :
around, everywhere, back,
nearby, outside, inside, here,
somewhere, toward, north,
behind, abroad
4. Many adverbs of place indicate movement
in a particular direction and end in the letters
“-ward or -wards”.
For example: Toward, forward, backward,
homeward, westward, eastwards onwards
Here are examples of adverbs of place used
in a sentence:
1. Mr. Conrado works abroad.

2. The ship sailed southward encountering
huge waves.
3. Oliver planted herbs nearby.
4. Jose Rizal studied Latin in Binan.
1. After a long day at work, we
headed homewards.

Adverbs of Time
What is adverbs of
time?
• Some adverbs and adverb phrases answer
the question “when?”. They are called
adverbs of time.
• Adverbs of time tell us when an action
happened and also for how long. They are
usually placed at the end of the sentence. If
they are placed at the beginning, the time
element is being emphasized. Some adverbs
maybe placed before the verb.
Examples:
yesterday, tomorrow, today, later, now, last,
year, next month, tonight, lately, soon, early
• Adverbs that change or qualify the
meaning of a sentence by telling us
when things happen are defined as
adverbs of time.
• An adverb of time is just what you
might expect it to be – a word that
describes when, for how long, or how
often a certain action happened.
These simple rules for adverbs
of time will help you to use
them the right way:
1. Adverbs of time often work best when
placed at the end of sentences.
For example:
Robin Hood swindled the Sheriff of
Nottingham yesterday.
I’m sick of living in chaos, so I’m going to
clean my house tomorrow.
2. You can change the position of an adverb of time
to lend emphasis to a certain aspect of a sentence.
For example:
 Later Robin Hood stole the king’s crown. (The
time is the most important element here.)
Robin Hood later stole the king’s crown. (This is
a formal way to use the adverb later. )
3. Adverbs of time describing for how long an
action occurred usually work best at the end
of a sentence.
For example:
She stayed at her grandmother’s house all
day.
My father was up with heartburn for hours.
4. Adverbs of time that express an exact
number of times the action happens usually
work best at the end of a sentence.
For example:
The newspaper arrives daily.
They go out to dinner weekly.
Our family goes on an outing monthly.
5. When using more than one adverb of time in a
sentence, use them in the following order:
1. How long
2. How often
3. When
For example:
She volunteered at the hospital (1) for three days
(2) every month (3) last year.
Examples of Adverbs of Time
1. Are you coming to work tomorrow?
2. I’d like to go to the movies later.
3. Jim was so sick he spent four weeks in the

hospital.
More examples:
1. Yesterday, my friend and I attended a
fair.
2. I am still cleaning my room.
3. I will clean my room tomorrow.
4. Last week, I went to the mall.
5. I am going to the mall today.
6. I need to visit the mall next wekk.
