Adverbials and their Position

An adverbial can be an adverb, an adverb phrase or an adverb clause. In short, any word or phrase that gives us additional information about the time, place or manner of the verb given in the sentence can be considered as an adverbial.

In English we never put an adverb between the verb and the object.

We often play handball. We play often handball.

1) Adverb at the beginning of a sentence

Unfortunately, we could not see Mount Snowdon.

2) Adverb in the middle of a sentence

The children often ride their bikes.

3) Adverb at the end of a sentence

Andy reads a comic every afternoon.


More than one adverb at the end of a sentence

If there are more adverbs at the end of a sentence, the word order is normally:
Manner - Place - Time

Peter sang the song happily in the bathroom yesterday evening.

Different types of adverbs:
Manner, place, time, duration, frequency, degree, focusing, certainty/obligation, viewpoint, evaluative.

How to Identify your Target Market (for dummies)

Identify your business's target market so that you can best serve and advertise directly to your real customers. To identify your target market, you first need to answer these questions:

What are you selling, and what makes it so unique?
To whom do you want to sell it?
Why should people buy the product or service from you?


When you have the answers to these questions, you should do two things:
Focus on your primary market.
Research your market and find out as much as possible about the people you want to sell to.

Your market research can take many forms:
Demographics 
Publications         
Potential customers

Differentiate your business from your competition (in a good way) by targeting customer needs and attracting business!
