ADVERBS OF MANNER
EXAMPLES
- He
swims well.
- He
ran quickly.
- She
spoke softly.
- James
coughed loudly to attract her attention.
- He
plays the flute beautifully.
(after the direct object)
- He
ate the chocolate cake greedily.
(after the direct object)
An adverb of manner cannot be
put between a verb and its direct object. The adverb must be placed either
before the verb or at the end of the clause.
EXAMPLES
- He
ate greedily the chocolate cake. [incorrect]
- He
ate the chocolate cake greedily. [correct]
- He greedily ate the chocolate cake. [correct]
- He
gave us generously the money. [incorrect]
- He
gave us the money generously. [correct]
- He generously gave us the money. [correct]
If there is a preposition
before the verb's object, you can place the adverb of manner either before the
preposition or after the object.
EXAMPLES
- The
child ran happily towards his mother.
- The
child ran towards his mother happily.
Adverbs of manner should always
come immediately after verbs which have no object (intransitive verbs).
EXAMPLES
- The
town grew quickly after 1997.
- He
waited patiently for his mother to arrive.
These common adverbs of manner
are almost always placed directly after the verb: well,
badly, hard, & fast
EXAMPLES
- He
swam well despite being tired.
- The
rain fell hard during the storm.
The position of the adverb is
important when there is more than one verb in a sentence. If the adverb is
placed before or after the main verb, it modifies only that verb. If the adverb
is placed after a clause, then it modifies the whole action described by the
clause. Notice the difference in meaning between the following sentences.
