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.
