Posición de los Adverbios en una oración

Ya hemos aprendido acerca de los Adverbios y hoy les proponemos conocer como se ubican en una oración cuando utilizamos más de uno de ellos. Por lo general el orden de los adverbios es el siguiente:

Adverbio de Modo Adverbio de Lugar Adverbio de tiempo

 

Por ejemplo:

Sally read the lesson slowly in her room yesterday.
Sally leyó la lección lentamente in su habitación ayer.

SLOWLY IN HER ROOM YESTERDAY
Adverbio de Modo Adverbio de Lugar Adverbio de tiempo

Cabe señalar que los adverbios de tiempo pueden ir colocados también al comienzo de la oración, por ejemplo:

Yesterday, Sally read the lesson slowly in her room.
  • Cuando en la oración existen dos o más adverbios de tiempo o lugar, primero se colocan las unidades más cortas, más pequeñas y más exactas, por ejemplo:

Yo vivía en una pequeña casa en una hermosa área de Londres.

  • Los adverbios de frecuencia que se expresan a través de una sola palabra se colocan antes del verbo principal y después del verbo TO BE, por ejemplo:

We normally go to work by bus.
Nosotros normalmente vamos a trabajar en autobus.

Sam is always late for work.
Sam siempre está retrasado para el trabajo.

  • Los adverbios de frecuencia compuestos por dos o más palabras se colocan generalmente al final de la oración y antes de los adverbios que denotan posición en el tiempo, por ejemplo:

Mis amigos van al río todos los días en verano.
