Where am I/adverb
Message from roberto-t posted on 09-01-2012 at 04:23:24 (D | E | F)
Hello

Happy new year.
My name is adverb,I have many friends: noun、verb、adjective and so on.
I feel worried,when I join boss's,named SENTENCE,party with my friends,I often don't know where I am and which one my seat is, "before adjective or after"、"before sentence or after" and so on (I am thinking)
So I need help,
please help me

Hello adverb.

Noun, verb and adjective have decided to exclude you from the sentence unless you have a real question.

Hello,

an adverb can apply to an adjective: It is very easy.
It can apply to another adverb: He speaks very quickly.
It can apply to a verb, an adverb of manner will be after the verb, an adverb of frequency will be before the verb:
He often speaks bizarrely.

Hello gerondif,Thank you

sometimes,I read a sentence,such as
Actually,I am 30 years old.
I am 30 years old,actually
Which one is right?And if both are right,which one is better?

Hello,
it all depends which word you wish to emphasize, you could have said for example: I sometimes read a sentence.....

For your "actually", both sentences are correct, I personally would place it at the end:
I look quite young but I am 30 years old, actually.("actually" means "in reality" of course,not "at the moment")

Now if you want to insist on actually even more:
I know I look quite young but actually, I am already thirty years old.

I still prefer my first solution, actually !

Hello,

However, it's nothing wrong to say:

I'm actually 30 years old, even if I look much (much, much) younger than my age.

Here, you can put the adverb "actually" right after verb to emphasize the fact of your age, as well as the adverb "much" in the following sentence.

See you,
