ADVERBS OF TIME
Simple Definition of Adverbs of Time with Examples

Adverbs that qualify or change the meaning of a sentence by telling us when things
happen are called Adverbs Of Time. An adverb of time is just what you expect it to be - a
word that describes when, for how long, how often an incident does happen. In some cases it
also describes the relationship between the happenings of two incidents. E.g. - before, after,
formerly etc.

What is Adverbs of Time

Adverb of time tells you the time of occurrence of an incident and also its duration and
frequency. It also describes the relationship in time between two occurrences. Consider the
below given sentences to get a better idea-

1. Aarushi went to school yesterday.


2. We played chess all day.
3. Atharva never drinks milk.
4. I went to my house earlier.

Consider the first sentence. The word ‘yesterday’ tells you an exact point of time when
actually Aarushi went to school. The word ‘all day’ in second sentence states the duration of
the event telling its definite frequency of occurrence while ‘never’ in third sentence tells you
the indefinite frequency of the incident. The adverb ‘earlier’ in the fourth example states an
indefinite relationship in time.

What is Interrogative Adverbs of Time

When an interrogative adverb is used to ask for a time related matter it is called an

used in some cases. Consider the below sentences for example.

Adverbs of Frequency
What are adverbs of frequency?
Adverbs that change or qualify the meaning of a sentence by telling us how often or how
frequently something happens are defined as adverbs of frequency.An adverb of frequency is
exactly what it sounds like – an adverb of time. Adverbs of frequency always describe how
often something occurs, either in definite or indefinite terms. An adverb that describes
definite frequency is one such as weekly, daily, or yearly. An adverb describing indefinite
frequency doesn’t specify an exact time frame; examples are sometimes, often, and rarely.

Adverbs of Frequency Rules


These simple rules for adverbs of frequency will help you to use them correctly:

 Always use adverbs of frequency to discuss how often something happens.


 Adverbs of frequency are often used to indicate routine or repeated activities, so they are
often used with the present simple tense.
 If a sentence has only one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence
so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. For example: Tom never flies. He
always takes the bus.
 When a sentence contains more than one verb, place the adverb of frequency before the main
verb. For example: They have often visited Europe.
 When using an adverb of frequency in the negative or in forming a question, place it before
the main verb. For example: Do you usually get up so late?

Examples of Adverbs of Frequency

Each sentence contains an example of an adverb of frequency; the examples are italicized for
easy identification.
1. The incubator turns each egg hourly.

2. We take a vacation at least once annually.

3. I usually shop for groceries on Saturday mornings.

4. He is often late for work.

5. We seldom see John.

6. My dentist told me I should floss twice daily.

Adverbs of Place
What is an adverb of place?
Adverbs that change or qualify the meaning of a sentence by telling us where things happen
are defined as adverbs of place. Some instructors refer to these words or phrases as spatial
adverbs. No matter what they are called, these adverbs always answer one important
question: Where?
These simple rules for adverbs of place will help you to use them the right way:

 An adverb of place always talks about the location where the action of the verb is being
carried out.
 Adverbs of place are normally placed after a sentence’s object or main verb.
 Adverbs of place can be directional. For example: Up, down, around, away, north, southeast
 Adverbs of place can refer to distances. For example: Nearby, far away, miles apart
 An adverb of place can indicate an object’s position in relation to another object. For
example: Below, between, above, behind, through, around and so forth.
 Many adverbs of place indicate movement in a particular direction and end in the letters “-
ward or -wards”. For example: Toward, forward, backward, homeward, westward, eastwards
onwards

 Examples of Adverbs of Place


Each sentence contains an example of an adverb of place; the examples are italicized for easy
identification. As you read these examples, you will notice that some of the adverbs of place
contain more than one word.

Put the cake there.


After a long day at work, we headed homewards.

Please bring that book here.

My grandfather’s house is nearby.

focusing on Subject - Lets say there are 50 people there and out of 50 people he is only one
who speaks english ok!!! so for this reason when we want to point out something or focus on
something then we use it . This example was only for Subject now lets see the example for
Verb

2) Focus On - Verb : Only He Speaks English

and as you know the usage of verb is (A word which is used to indicate the act is called verb)
and in this example we have speak so it means - He does not know any other language
therefore whenever he talks he speaks english

ADVERB OF MODALITY
Adverbs of modality is a description of time. Is a possible adverb. The point is that this
modality is used to express the possibility of it happening or not or the possibility to do
something. Is he able to do it or not.
Example :

 Likely
 Possibly
 Maybe
 Probably
 Unlikely
 Examples of using adverbs of modality in sentences are as follows:
 Maybe she doesn’t like me
 Perhaps she is talking about us
 Probably she wants to meet you
 She maybe loves him
 I maybe can come to her party tomorrow

Preposition

What is a preposition?
A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within
a sentence. They act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a
sentence. Prepositions are usually short words, and they are normally placed directly in
front of nouns. In some cases, you’ll find prepositions in front of gerund verbs.
A nice way to think about prepositions is as the words that help glue a sentence together.
They do this by expressing position and movement, possession, time and how an action is
completed.

Indeed, several of the most frequently used words in all of English, such as of, to, for, with,
on and at, are prepositions. Explaining prepositions can seem complicated, but they are a
common part of language and most of us use them naturally without even thinking about it.

In fact, it’s interesting to note that prepositions are regarded as a ‘closed class’ of words in
the English language. This means, unlike verbs and nouns, no new words are added to this
group over time. In a way, it reflects their role as the functional workhorse of the sentence.
They are unassuming and subtle, yet vitally important to the meaning of language.

There are two very important rules to remember when using prepositions. Because they are
somewhat vague, learning about prepositions and using them correctly in sentences takes
practice. Because 1:1 translation is often impossible when dealing with propositions, even the
most advanced English students have some difficulty at first.

 The first rule is that to make sentences clear, specific prepositions are needed. For example,
the preposition in means one thing and the preposition on cannot substitute for it in all cases.
Some prepositions are interchangeable but not always. The correct preposition means one
particular thing and using a different proposition will give the sentence a very different
meaning. I want to see you in the house now, Bill! means something very different from I
want to see you on the house now, Bill! In the house means Bill should go through the door,
walk inside, and stand in the hall or living room. On the house means Bill would need to get
a ladder and climb to the roof where he would be on top of the house.
 The second rule for using prepositions is that prepositions are generally followed by nouns or
pronouns. There was a time in the past when teachers held strictly to this rule, but it made for
some clunky sentences. I am seeking someone I can depend on ends with the preposition on,
so people who insisted that sentences shouldn’t end with a preposition would be forced to use
convoluted and unnatural phrasing. To avoid ending that sentence above with a preposition,
you’d have to say, someone I can depend on is whom I am seeking.
 There are more than 100 prepositions in the English language. In addition, there are endless
possibilities for creating prepositional phrases, phrases that begin with a preposition and
end with a noun or pronoun. In the following sections, you will find examples of
prepositions, types of prepositions, a comprehensive list of prepositions, and some helpful
preposition exercises. As you read the examples and study the list, remember that
prepositions usually convey concepts such as comparison, direction, place, purpose, source
possession, and time.

Examples of Prepositions
In the following sentences, examples of prepositions have been italicized. As you read,
consider how using different prepositions or even different types of prepositions in place of
the examples might change the relationship between the rest of the words in the sentence.

 I prefer to read in the library.


 He climbed up the ladder to get onto the roof.
 Please sign your name on the dotted line after you read the contract.
 Go down the stairs and through the door.
 He swam across the pool.
 Take your brother with you.

Types of Prepositions
There are three types of prepositions, including time prepositions, place prepositions, and
direction prepositions.
Time prepositions are those such as before, after, during, and until; place prepositions are
those indicating position, such as around, between, and against; and direction prepositions
are those indicative of direction, such as across, up, and down. Each type of preposition is
important.

Type of Prepositions
Prepositions of Time
Basic examples of time prepositions include: at, on, in, before and after. They are used to
help indicate when something happened, happens or will happen. It can get a little confusing
though, as many different prepositions can be used.

Prepositions of time examples in the following sentences are in bold for easy identification.

For example:

 I was born on July 4th, 1982.


 I was born in 1982.
 I was born at exactly 2am.
 I was born two minutes before my twin brother.
 I was born after the Great War ended.
The above makes it seem quite difficult, with five different prepositions used to indicate
when something happened. However, there is a set of guidelines that can help decide which
preposition to use:

For years, months, seasons, centuries and times of day, use the preposition in:

 I first met John in 1987.


 It’s always cold in January
 Easter falls in spring each year.
 The Second World War occurred in the 20th century.
 We eat breakfast in the morning.
For days, dates and specific holiday days, use the preposition on.

1. We go to school on Mondays, but not on Sunday

2. Christmas is on December 25th.

3. Buy me a present on my birthday.

For times, indicators of exception and festivals, use the preposition at:

 Families often argue at Christmas time.


 I work faster at night.
 Her shift finished at 7pm.
Before and after should be much easier to understand than the other examples of prepositions
of time. Both are used to explain when something happened, happens or will happen, but
specifically in relation to another thing.

 Before I discovered this bar, I used to go straight home after work.


 We will not leave before 3pm.
 David comes before Bryan in the line, but after Louise.
Other prepositions of time could include: During, about, around, until and throughout.

 The concert will be staged throughout the month of May.


 I learned how to ski during the holidays.
 He usually arrives around 3pm.
 It was about six in the morning when we made it to bed.
 The store is open until midnight.
Prepositions of Place

To confuse matters a bit, the most common prepositions to indicate time – on, at, in – are
also the most common prepositions to indicate position. However, the rules are a little clearer
as place prepositions are a more rigid concept than time prepositions.

Prepositions of place examples in the following sentences are in bold for easy identification.

 The cat is on the table.


 The dogs are in the kennel.
 We can meet at the crossroads.
The guidelines can be broken down as follows:

On is used when referring to something with a surface:

 The sculpture hangs on the wall.


 The images are on the page.
 The specials are on the menu, which is on the table.
In is used when referring to something that is inside or within confined boundaries. This
could be anything, even a country:

1. Jim is in France, visiting his aunt in the hospital.

2. The whiskey is in the jar in the fridge.

3. The girls play in the garden.

At is used when referring to something at a specific point:

1. The boys are at the entrance at the movie theater.

2. He stood at the bus stop at the corner of Water and High streets.

3. We will meet at the airport.

Lot’s of other prepositions of place, such as under, over, inside, outside, above and below are
used in English. There is, however, a lot less confusion as they refer to rigid positions rather
than abstract ones.
 The cat is under the table.
 Put the sandwich over there.
 The key is locked inside the car.
 They stepped outside the house.
 Major is ranked above corporal.
 He is waving at you from below the stairs.
Prepositions of Movement

Prepositions of movement are quite easy to understand as they are less abstract than
prepositions of place and time. Essentially, they describe how something or someone moves
from one place to another. The most commonly used preposition of movement is to, which
usually serves to highlight that there is movement towards a specific destination.

Prepositions of movement examples in the following sentences are in bold for easy
identification.

 He has gone on vacation to France.


 She went to the bowling alley every Friday last summer.
 I will go to bed when I am tired.
 They will go to the zoo if they finish their errands.
Other more specific prepositions of movement include: through, across, off, down and into.
These prepositions can sometimes get mixed up with others. While they are similar, they
have individual meanings that add context to the movement.

Across refers to moving from one side to another.

 Mike travelled across America on his motorcycle.


 Rebecca and Judi are swimming across the lake.
Through refers to moving directly inside something and out the other end.

 The bullet Ben shot went through the window.


 The train passes through the tunnel.
Into refers to entering or looking inside something.

 James went into the room.


 They stare into the darkness.
Up, over, down, past and around indicate directions of movement:

1. Jack went up the hill.

2. Jill came tumbling down after.

3. We will travel over rough terrain on our way to Grandma’s house.

4. The horse runs around the track all morning.

5. A car zoomed past a truck on the highway

How to Recognize a Preposition?

Recognizing prepositions can be challenging as they do not always follow a consistent


pattern in terms of their position in a sentence, nor do they have a discernible structure or
spelling. We do know, however, that prepositions are almost always short words, with the
majority having less than six letters. One technique people use to identify a preposition is to
think of a preposition as anywhere a mouse can go. Above, below, next to, between, beyond,
through, by, with…It won’t cover them all, but it can be a useful question to ask when trying
to identify and recognize a preposition. While there are over 100 prepositions, there are
around 500,00-700,000 nouns in English! It is unlikely anyone will learn so many nouns, but
recognizing and then mastering prepositions might be a worthwhile and attainable goal.

Prepositions with Nouns

There are lots of different nouns that carry specific prepositions to consolidate their meaning.
These are called dependent prepositions. Again, there isn’t a set rule that says a particular
type of noun will take a dependent preposition, although they normally follow the noun.
Moreover, there are many possible combinations. Essentially, it’s case of familiarizing
yourself with the different possibilities of nouns and dependent prepositions. Examples:

 He displayed cruelty towards his dog.


 She had knowledge of physics.
 The trouble with Jack.
 21 is the age at which you are allowed to drink.
 Bolt made another attempt at the world record.
 The police held an inquiry into the murder.
Prepositions with Verbs

Prepositional verbs – the phrasal combinations of verbs and prepositions – are important parts
of speech. The prepositions again act as links between the verb and noun or gerund, giving
extra meaning to the sentence. The prepositions most commonly used with verbs are: to, for,
about, of, in, at and from. The good news is that these will always come after the verb in the
sentence. However, it should also be noted that the prepositional verbs can have slightly
different meaning compared to the original verb. For example, to relate a story simply means
to tell a story, to relate to a story means you identify with it, find some personally meaning in
that story.

Verb + to:

 He admitted to the charge.


 I go to Vancouver on vacation twice a year.
 William can relate to the character in the play.
Verb + for:

 He must apologize for his actions.


 We searched for ages before we found the perfect apartment.
 I provide for my family by working two jobs.
Verb + with:

 I don’t agree with your claim.


 The lawyer said he will meet with your representatives.
 They began with a quick warm-up.
Verb + of:

 I dream of a better life.


 Have you heard of Shakespeare?
 The bread consists of dough, raisins and a little honey.
Verb + in:
 Does Rick believe in miracles?
 Fallon lives in New York.
 The bus accident resulted in my being late to work.
Verb + at

1. We arrived at our destination.

2. Ilene excels at singing.

3. Will the baby smile at her mother?

Verb + on:

 We should really concentrate on our studies now.


 Helen insisted on Brenda’s company.
 Morris experimented on some canvas.
Verb + from:

 Since turning 80, she suffers from lapses in concentration.


 Dad retired from the navy in the 1970s.
 Billy Bob, please refrain from doing that.

Prepositions with Adjectives

Prepositions can form phrases with adjectives to give further context to the action, emotion or
thing the adjective is describing. Like verbs and nouns, adjectives can be followed by: to,
about, In, for, with, at and by.

 I am happily married to David.


 Ellie is crazy about this movie.
 Michelle is interested in politics.
 We are sorry for your loss.
 Jane will be delighted with her results.
 Is he still angry at the world?
 The entire room was astonished by the election results.
There can sometimes be a pattern in deciding which prepositions go with adjectives, for
example, when adjectives have the same or very similar meaning to each other, they might
take the same preposition:

 Frightened of, afraid of, scared of, terrified of


Indeed, when adjectives have opposite meaning they might also take the same preposition:

 Good at, great at, superb at, wonderful at


 Bad at, terrible at, woeful at, inept at
There are always many exceptions to the above, but it can help that there seems to be some

consistency when adjectives have the same meaning or opposite meaning.

Nevertheless, perhaps a more general rule is that English speakers simply need to learn which
prepositions go with which adjectives, as meaning can change significantly by using a
different preposition.

 I am good at sports means I have some athletic talent.


 The nurse was good to my mother means she took care of her and was nice, kind, and helpful.
 I am good with animals means I get along with them and handle them well.
 Swimming is good for your health.
 That was good of you to come means you were begin nice and good to visit.
 My little brother is good inside (his body) means even though you can’t see how he thinks
and feels, he is good. Even if his behavior is bad.
 The blueberry jam will be good on toast.

Conjunctions

What is a conjunction?
A conjunction is a part of speech that is used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences.
Conjunctions are considered to be invariable grammar particle, and they may or may not
stand between items they conjoin.
Types of Conjunctions
There are several different types of conjunctions that do various jobs within sentence
structures. These include:

 Subordinating conjunctions – Also known as subordinators, these conjunctions join


dependent clauses to independent clauses.
 Coordinating conjunction – Also known as coordinators, these conjunctions coordinate or
join two or more sentences, main clauses, words, or other parts of speech which are of the
same syntactic importance.
 Correlative conjunction – These conjunctions correlate, working in pairs to join phrases or
words that carry equal importance within a sentence.
 Conjunctive adverbs – While some instructors do not teach conjunctive adverbs alongside
conjunctions, these important parts of speech are worth a mention here.
These adverbs always connect one clause to another, and are used to show sequence,
contrast, cause and effect, and other relationships.
When people first learn to write, they usually begin with short, basic sentences like these:
“My name is Ted. I am a boy. I like dogs.” One of the most important jobs conjunctions do is
to connect these short sentences so they sound more like this: “I am a boy named Ted, and I
like dogs.”

Conjunction Rules
There are a few important rules for using conjunctions. Remember them and you will find
that your writing flows better:

 Conjunctions are for connecting thoughts, actions, and ideas as well as nouns, clauses, and
other parts of speech. For example: Mary went to the supermarket and bought oranges.
 Conjunctions are useful for making lists. For example: We made pancakes, eggs, and coffee
for breakfast.
 When using conjunctions, make sure that all the parts of your sentences agree. For example:
“I work busily yet am careful” does not agree. “I work busily yet carefully” shows agreement.

Conjunctions List
There are only a few common conjunctions, yet these words perform many functions: They
present explanations, ideas, exceptions, consequences, and contrasts. Here is a list of
conjunctions commonly used in American English:

 And
 As
 Because
 But
 For
 Just as
 Or
 Neither
 Nor
 Not only
 So
 Whether
 Yet

Examples of Conjunctions
In the following examples, the conjunctions are in bold for easy recognition:

 I tried to hit the nail but hit my thumb instead.


 I have two goldfish and a cat.
 I’d like a bike for commuting to work.
 You can have peach ice cream or a brownie sundae.
 Neither the black dress northe gray one looks right on me.
 My dad always worked hard so we could afford the things we wanted.

What Are Interjections?


Interjections are words used to express strong feeling or sudden emotion. They are
included in a sentence (usually at the start) to express a sentiment such as surprise,
disgust, joy, excitement, or enthusiasm.

An interjection is not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence.

Examples of interjections (shaded):


 Hey! Get off that floor!
 Oh, that is a surprise.
 Good! Now we can move on.
 Jeepers, that was close.

Yes and No
Introductory expressions such as yes, no, indeed, and well are also classed as
interjections.

Examples:
 Indeed, this is not the first time the stand has collapsed.
 Yes, I do intend to cover the bet.
 I'm sure I don't know half the people who come to my house. Indeed, for
all I hear, I shouldn't like to. (Oscar Wilde)
 Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the
kids. (Homer Simpson)

Phew!
Some interjections are sounds.
Examples:
 Phew! I am not trying that again.
 Humph! I knew that last week.
 Mmmm, my compliments to the chef.
 Ah! Don't say you agree with me. When people agree with me, I always
feel that I must be wrong. (Oscar Wilde)
