Adverbs of Place
*Adverbs of Place describe “where” an action takes place. In addition, we usually find adverbs of place after the main verb.
For example, "indoors" or "outside" describe where something happens. Again, we often find these adverbs of place after a verb in a sentence.
Examples:
1.)If you want to see the hot air balloon, you will have to go outside.
2.) When she entered the classroom, she sat down on the floor.
3.) I searched everywhere but I couldn’t find him.
4.) He walked downstairs to meet his father.
*Adverbs of Time tell us when the verb happened or will happen. For example, “afterwards”, “every day” and “recently’ are adverbs of time and describe “when”.
Adverbs of time can also describe the duration of an event and/or show when an action is complete.
Examples:
1.) We’ll go to the festival tomorrow.
2.) Yesterday, we played in the basketball tournament.
3.) She’ll eventually finish studying and go to university.
4.) They ate popcorn and watched movies all day.
