Grammar: Position of Adverbials


Adverbs are a part of speech that describes a verb, another adverb or an adjective. 

For example: 


I never see my older sister, but occasionally I call my younger sister.

In the sentence the words never an occasionally are adverbs. 

Or: 
 I see her from time to time. We get together once in a blue moon.

In this sentence from time to time and once in a blue moon are also adverbs. 

Adverbs can be placed in different positions in the sentences. Let's take a look at the video: 


As you can see adverbials can go in front, mid or end position in the sentences.

  2. Because this was too expensive and the women, who received the cars were liable to pay $7000 for income tax bill.


    The most expensive mistake in buzz marketing history was perhaps, General Motors' great Pontiac giveaway in September 2004. The idea of distributing a free car to every member of the studio audience for the Oprah Winfrey Show achieved its objective initially. In total 276 Pontiac G6s - costing $7m initially- were given away to the audience which, consisted only of women who had been specially selected in advance as deserving cases. Not surprisingly, the stunt received generally, vast amounts of positive coverage in news outlets. It emerged quickly, however, that all those deserving women were now liable for an unexpected $7000 income tax bill. General Motors' embarrassment became the talk of America.
