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.
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-
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.
When an interrogative adverb is used to ask for a time related matter it is called an
interrogative adverb of time. ‘When’ is an interrogative adverb of time, but ‘how’ can also be
used in some cases. Consider the below sentences for example.
Examples of Adverb of time are- today, yesterday, tomorrow, last year, next year, gone
month, coming month, now, then, annually, daily, often, everyday, all day, never, ever,
occasionally, fortnightly etc.
Find out the Adverbs of Time in the given sentences; also assign their types- point of time,
definite frequency, indefinite frequency or relationship in time.
"She plays piano." - An adverb of manner can be added to the verb (play) to modify its
meaning and give us more information on how she plays piano.
Adverbs of manner are usually placed after the main verb or after the object. "He left the
room quickly."
It can also be used before the verb. "He quickly left the room."

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

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.
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:
For years, months, seasons, centuries and times of day, use the preposition in:
For times, indicators of exception and festivals, use the preposition at:
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.
2. He stood at the bus stop at the corner of Water and High streets.
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.
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:
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:
Verb + on:
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.
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.
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:
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:
INTERJECTIONS
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)
