An adverb of place explains where something happened. It can also indicate direction, distance and position.
Here are some examples of adverbs of place:
|
down |
everywhere |
far |
|
here |
outside |
there |
Adverbs of place are usually placed after the main verb. They are seldomly used before the main verb, mostly by writers. The placement of the adverb does not affect the general meaning of the sentence.
