Question

Which sentence correctly follows adverb placement rules?

• A. She drives always carefully.
• B. She carefully drives always.
• C. She always drives carefully.
• D. She drives carefully always.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. She always drives carefully.

Adverb placement in English follows specific rules depending on the type of adverb:

1. Adverbs of Frequency (e.g., always, usually, often, sometimes) go before the main verb but after auxiliary verbs:

   • ✅ She always drives carefully. (Correct placement of "always" before "drives")

   • ❌ She drives always carefully. (Incorrect)

2. Adverbs of Manner (e.g., carefully, quickly, slowly) go after the main verb or at the end of the sentence:

   • ✅ She always drives carefully.

   • ✅ She drives carefully.
