Adverb Placement with Adjectives and Adverbs
- Place adverbs before the adjectives or adverbs they modify.
- For example, say "really interesting" instead of "interesting really".

- Adverbs of indefinite frequency (e.g., always, never, often) usually precede the main verb.
- Adverbs like "frequently" are frequently used, as Catherine noted.
Adverbs of Definite Frequency
- Adverbs of definite frequency (e.g., daily, weekly) typically follow the verb and object.
- They go in the third position, unlike adverbs of indefinite frequency.
