manner
An adverb of manner describes how something is done (e.g. quickly ), or to what extent (e.g. completely ). Some adverbs of manner can go before the verb. But, since all adverbs of manner can always also go after the verb or noun, it is best to put them there. You will then avoid mistakes. Subject + verb + adverb of manner + full stop (.).
2. Subject + verb + noun + adverb [+ rest of phrase.
