Adverbs of time tell when something happened or will happen. They express a point in time. These adverbs of time are often used: to talk about the past: yesterday, the day before, ago, last week/month/year to talk about the present: still, yet, while, when to talk about the future: soon, then, next week/month/year, in 2 days, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow
Adverbs that tell us when are usually placed at the end of the sentence. Examples: Goldilocks went to the Bears' house yesterday. I saw Sally today. I will call you later.
Adverbs that tell us for how long are also usually placed at the end of the sentence. Examples: I stayed in Cebu for three days. I am going on vacation for a week.
An adverb of place always talks about the location where the action of the verb is being carried out. They are normally placed after a sentence’s object or main verb . Adverbs of place can be directional. For example: Up, down, around, away, north, southeast Adverbs of place can refer to distances. For example: Nearby, far away, miles apart
An adverb of place can indicate an object’s position in relation to another object. For example: Below, between, above, behind, through, around, and so forth. Many adverbs of place indicate movement in a particular direction and end in the letters “-ward or -wards”. For example: toward, forward, backward, homeward, westward, eastwards, onwards
