WEBVTT 00:00.240 --> 00:03.300 Welcome to this tutorial video. 00:03.540 --> 00:07.700 We're going to talk about the order of adverbs. 00:07.740 --> 00:08.960 Let's get started. 00:11.730 --> 00:13.650 Remember that an adverb. 00:13.650 --> 00:21.580 It's a word or set of words that modifies verbs adjectives or other adverbs. 00:21.600 --> 00:31.820 Now usually adverbs modify verbs telling us how how often when or where something was done. 00:32.000 --> 00:35.280 Have a look at the example over here. 00:35.570 --> 00:39.300 We walked really slowly. 00:39.330 --> 00:43.760 Now there are two adverbs in the sentence really. 00:43.810 --> 00:55.000 And slowly the adverbs slowly modifies the verb walked telling us how we walked in the adverb really 00:55.090 --> 01:06.300 modifies the other adverb slowly and it tells us how slowly we walked as adverbs are used to modify 01:06.300 --> 01:16.800 verbs adjectives other adverbs phrases clauses or even entire sentences they are able to function nearly 01:17.250 --> 01:26.180 anywhere in the sentence depending on their type and what it is they are modifying. 01:26.270 --> 01:33.890 Now if we use more than one adverb to describe a verb there is a general order in which the different 01:33.890 --> 01:46.410 categories of adverbs should appear sometimes called the Royal Order of adverbs first comes manner second 01:46.650 --> 01:55.410 comes please third frequency fourth time and fifth purpose 01:58.030 --> 02:06.220 now adverbs of manner tell us how something happens how someone does something or give character to 02:06.220 --> 02:13.720 a description happened look at the example over here and Alice sings beautifully. 02:14.000 --> 02:24.730 Now the adverb of manner beautifully in the sentence tells us how Alice sings adverbs of please tell 02:24.730 --> 02:33.610 us about an aspect of location associated with the action of a verb specifying the direction distance 02:33.940 --> 02:38.970 movement or position involved in the action. 02:39.110 --> 02:46.590 Have a look at the example over here we looked upwards at the fireworks. 02:46.700 --> 02:55.070 Now the adverb of place upwards specifies the direction involved in the action looked 02:58.160 --> 03:06.740 adverbs of frequency tell us how often something happens have a look at the example over here. 03:06.740 --> 03:14.610 Peter Goelz abroad twice a year the adverb of frequency twice a year. 03:14.610 --> 03:25.010 Tell us how often Peter Goelz abroad and Adverbs of Time tell us when or for how long something happens. 03:25.170 --> 03:30.250 Or is the case happened look at the example over here. 03:30.660 --> 03:33.240 We've been dating for four years 03:35.910 --> 03:40.040 adverbs of purpose tell us why something happens. 03:40.290 --> 03:43.410 Have a look at the example over here. 03:43.440 --> 03:47.640 The dress is handcrafted and hence expensive. 03:47.730 --> 03:51.150 Now the adverb of purpose hence in the sentence. 03:51.300 --> 03:56.210 Tell us why the dress is expensive now. 03:56.240 --> 04:05.060 Adverbs indicating the attitude and point of view of the speaker or writer usually go at the beginning 04:05.690 --> 04:08.840 as in the example over here. 04:08.840 --> 04:11.240 Actually I don't want to go there.
