    1. Position
    We can put adverbs in different positions in sentences. There are three main positions
    but also a lot of exceptions.
    In English we never put an adverb between the verb and the object.
    Example :
    We often play basketball (correct)
    We play often basketball (wrong)

    The three main positions of adverbs in English sentences


    1) Adverb at the beginning of a Example :
    sentence The students often ride their
    Example : bikes to campus.
    Usually/often we go for a run We sometimes eat out
    after work
    3) Adverb at the end of a sentence
    2) Adverb in the middle of a sentence Example :
