The Order of Adverbs

Adverbia yang terletak di akhir kalimat, jika lebih dari satu adverbia maka biasanya mempunyai urutan sebagai berikut: (1) manner, (2) place, (3) frequency, (4) time, kemudian (5) purpose. Tetapi urutan ini bisa berubah dan menyesuaikan dengan kondisi kalimat.

Contoh:
- Beth swims (1) enthusiastically (2) in the pool (3) every morning (4) before dawn (5) to keep in shape.
- Dad walks (2) into town (3) every afternoon (4) before supper (5) to get a newspaper.
- They landed (1) safely (2) on a small airfield.
- I always eat (2) here (4) at lunchtime.
- I usually go (2) to bed (4) early.
- Tom came (2) here (4) yesterday.
- My parents moved (2) to London (4) in 1993.

Tetapi seringkali dua frase adverbia di akhir kalimat dapat dipertukarkan letaknya:
- The concert was held at the arts centre last night.
- The concert was held last night at the arts centre.
