§ 7. There are generally four possible positions for adverbs in 1) at the head of the sentence, 2) between the subject and predicate or, if the predicate is a 3) before the word the adverb modifies, 4) at the end of the sentence. Different semantic groups of adverbs tend to appear in differ- Thus, many adverbs of time and frequency prefer Position 2. e.g. Mother is now busy in the kitchen. However, some of time adverbs appear in Position 4. e.g. He arrived yesterday. If any adverbs of time and frequency are found in positions Cf. He usually comes early, (common) Adverbs of place and direction usually occur in Position 4. e.g. The young people were enjoying themselves outside. Adverbs of manner commonly appear in Position 4, after the e.g. They welcomed us warmly. He explained the problem very simply. Some adverbs of manner may occasionally be found in Position 2. e.g. She knew she had deeply hurt her husband. The girl bent down and gently scooped the butterfly into the Occasionally adverbs of manner may be found in Position 1. In e.g. Stiffly she began to get out of the car. (= she was stiff when she began to get out of the car) Anxiously she watched the butterfly. (= she felt anxious Adverbs of degree (or intensifiers) are usually placed in Posi- e.g. I quite forgot her birthday. He definitely saw me in the corridor. The adverb enough, when it modifies an adjective or an ad- e.g. He is old enough to understand it. However, adverbs of degree (intensifiers), if they modify e.g. I don't know him well. He ignored me completely. Focusing adverbs occupy Position 3 ■— most of them precede e.g. a) Shall we just exchange the books? It was only proper that the girl should give up her seat to an elderly lady. He also bought a can of raspberry jam. I, too, want a cup of tea. Viewpoint adverbs are usually found in Position 1 and marked e.g. Morally, they have won a victory. Theoretically, I have no objection to his proposal. Cf. The expedition was planned scientifically, {an adverb of manner meaning 'us- a scientific point of view') detail') meaning 'usually') Attitudinal adverbs mainly tend to appear in Position 1, at e.g. a) Perhaps they knew that she was coming today. It was possible of course that Meg would deny everything. Conjunctive adverbs may be found in Positions 1, 2 and 4. tired to do it. The corridor was full of people anyway. Besides he was too The Adverb so § 8. Note the peculiarities in the use of the adverb so. It is 1) When so is used to express agreement with a preceding e.g. "Will he do it?" "I think so." (I expect so. I believe so.) Disagreement with a previous statement may be expressed in e.g. "Can you come and see us tomorrow?" "I'm afraid not." As to the other verbs, both ways are possible with them, the e.g. "Will they ask you to do it?" "I don't think so." "Are your parents going to stay with you when they come?" 2) When so expresses agreement and refers to a previous e.g. a) "It was hot yesterday." "So it was." "We've all worked well." "So we have." b) "It's going to rain soon." "If so, what are we going to do?" 3) When so is used with to do to refer to a preceding verb. e.g. I told him to come and see me the next day, and he did so. 4) When so meaning 'also' is used in the following sentence e.g. My wife likes having visitors and so do I. My brother is fond of pop-music and so is his wife. The negative counterpart of that is neither. The Adverbs already and yet § 9. Already is generally found in affirmative sentences, In interrogative sentences it is used with an element of sur- e.g. "Have they left already?" ('Они уже ушли?') "Yes, a minute ago." Yet is found in negative sentences and in interrogative sen- e.g. They haven't left yet. (They haven't yet left.) The Adverbs still and yet § 10. Still may be used in all kinds of sentences with an im- e.g. He is still asleep. ('Он все еще спит.') Yet may also be used in all kinds of sentences with an im- e.g. He is asleep yet. ('Он еще не проснулся.') Compare also the following pairs: The Adverbs much, far and long § ll. The use of the adverb much is similar to the use of the e.g. He doesn't care much what happens to him. The adverbs far, far off, far away and long are also mainly I've got a long way to go. I couldn't stay there long. He talked with us for a long time. § 12. Special attention should be paid to a striking point in the e.g. He gave a careful look round the room. (= He looked round the room carefully.) He pays us occasional visits. (= He visits us occasionally.) their shoulders cynically.) PREPOSITIONS § 1. Prepositions are structural words which are used with a e.g. The face of his visitor was so distasteful to him that he could scarcely bear to look at it it was active, hurrying over the pebbles. the power of thought for a moment. Prepositions may be single words, e.g. in, for, below, behind, Note. Some ing-forms are also used as prepositions, e.g. concerning, including, etc. § 2. Prepositions may have a lexical meaning of their own. e.g. Her sister appeared, carrying a wine-glass in which there was a raw egg, with a little sherry on it. Prepositions may indicate position in space or direction (e.g. time (e.g. after, before, during, for, in, on, at, etc.), various ab- e.g. I've been here for two weeks. But the meaning of prepositions is often weakened and some- e.g. There is a man waiting for you in your office. The success of the operation depends entirely on your consent. § 3. The choice of prepositions is determined by different fac- e.g. There was a photograph of a young girl on his desk. But more often the choice of the preposition is determined by e.g. No one could account for his objection to our plan. Who is going to look after your children while you are away? He is quite good at painting. It is in this case that the meaning of the preposition often be- The choice of the preposition may also depend on the noun that follows the preposition. e.g. Who was the first to speak at the meeting? He went there on business. He is now on a concert tour in Europe. I'm planning to finish it in February. He woke up at 8 o'clock. We discussed it in detail. No one could help him under the circumstances. In this case the preposition and the noun often become set § 4. Although prepositions serve to express various relations a) special questions, e.g. What are you looking for? b) certain subordinate clauses, e.g. What he is waiting for is not likely to happen. c) certain passive constructions, e.g. He loved the dogs and they were taken good care of. They found him so ill that a doctor was immediately sent for. d) certain functions of the infinitive or infinitive phrase, e.g. He hated to be made fun of. When he retired he went to live in Dorset, in a charming You have a lot to be thankful for. Sometimes one and the same noun is associated with two or e.g. It is a book for and about children. The pronoun much is used of and with uncountable nouns. It follows from the above examples that the prepositions in § 5. The prepositions of, by and to may become entirely devoid e.g. Anne was the wife of a miner. They were followed by their two daughters. The prepositions are said to be grammaticalized in this case. CONJUNCTIONS § 1. Conjunctions are structural words that serve to connect below). Conjunctions may be single words (e.g. and, as, because, but, Note. Some ing-forms and participles are also used as conjunctions (e.g. suppos- § 2. Conjunctions have a lexical meaning of their own. e.g. He came to see me because he felt happy. Note. The lexical meaning of the conjunction that is vague. It serves to intro- my parents, {subject clause) The probability is that he refused to cooperate, (predicative clause) of result) (appositive clause). § 3. According to their role in the sentence, conjunctions fall besides, both...and, but, either,..or, hence, likewise, moreover, never- Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, clauses, or e.g. His light-brown hair was fine and thick. She took a piece of cake and a cup of tea. She flung the door open and entered. She felt jealous because there was someone who knew what Meg ordered a fresh pot of tea and they settled down to dis- Just now I can't think of anything but of how you were
