Order of Adverbs in a Sentence
Introduction
1) An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Usually adverbs modify verbs, telling us how, how often, when, or where something was
done.
We walked
really slowly
​
.
​
2) As adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, phrases, clauses, or even
entire sentences, they are able to function nearly anywhere in the sentence, depending on
their type and what it is they are modifying.
If we use more than one adverb to describe a verb, there is a general order in which the
different categories of adverbs should appear (sometimes called​
the royal order of
adverbs​
):
1. manner, 2. place, 3. frequency, 4. time, 5. purpose.
It is uncommon to use five adverbs in a row to modify the same word, but if a sentence uses
two or more, then it is best to follow this order to avoid sounding unnatural.
Adverbs of manner tell us how something happens, how someone does something, or give
character to a description.
Alice sings
​
beautifully.
Adverbs of place tell us about an aspect of location associated with the action of a verb,
specifying the direction, distance, movement, or position involved in the action.
We looked
​
upwards
​
at the fireworks.
Adverbs of frequency tell us how often something happens.
Peter goes abroad
​
twice a year.
Adverbs of time tell us when or for how long something happens or is the case.
They’ve been dating
​
for 4 years.

Adverbs of purpose tell us why something happens.
The dress is handcrafted and
​
hence
​
expensive.
Adverbs indicating the attitude and point of view of the speaker or writer usually go at the
beginning. These adverbs are called sentence adverbs because they refer to the whole
sentence or utterance.
Actually,
​
I don’t want to go there.
