-Adverbs of Place and Time
Let’s Try This
A. Study the pictures below.
What are the words used to tell

celebrated?

What do you call these words?


Let’s Study This
Adverbs of time tell when something happened or will
happen. They express a point in time.
These adverbs of time are often used:
to talk about the past: yesterday, the day before,
ago, last week/month/year
to talk about the present: still, yet, while, when
to talk about the future: soon, then, next
week/month/year, in 2 days, tomorrow, the day after
tomorrow
Adverbs that tell us when are usually placed at the end of
the sentence.

Examples:
Goldilocks went to the Bears' house yesterday.
I saw Sally today.
I will call you later.
Adverbs that tell us for how long are also usually placed at
the end of the sentence.

Examples:
I stayed in Cebu for three days.
I am going on vacation for a week.
An adverb of place always talks about the location where
the action of the verb is being carried out. They 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
